Except a need the VSM foundation for the Venus Project there is a need in
new style of elections in principle . The old style of elections was
invented long time before our new possibilities of communications . There
is a new "Theory of élite systems" which is used in selecting parts for
the space ships . There are all possibilities now to use it in social

VSM , theory of élite systems etc is an old style of social institutions
around the World . :-((
