The four topics: Flexibility, Distribution, Mobility and Virtual.

We will be using these four topics to attempt to improve the current design and services of a new capital. But first was must define these words, and reveal their intentions. Flexibility shows the accessibility of the design, how easily it can work with other things and it's ability to change quickly. Distribution is the measure of how easily the services can be provided to others. The better the distribution is, the more people can be serviced and over longer distances. Virtual is how the services and design interact on a non tangible plane. This is interlinked with the other topics strongly as it is the easiest method to distribute services, accesses all areas and is extremely malleable.

In our group session we discussed that flexibility, in terms of a political design, would mean easy accessibility to politicians by all member of the public. There should be no person excluded from this service and as such it should be flexible enough to include all. We came to the conclusion that the system should be easily used by one as young as 12.

We discussed both mobility and distribution as one as we felt they served the same purpose in the political design. To achieve the flexibility service we wanted, everyone in the country would require access to the politicians and their views. A purely mobile approach would create to much of a limit on the system, moving the system as one object or moving the politicians themselves will prevent everyone accessing the service. And plucking politician from their desks to talk to the public all day will slow down the government. Adding distribution to this system sorts out these flaws. By creating spaces where people can interact with their politicians directly, then distributing them in areas where all members of the public can access them, the flexibility of the system will increase. The only places where this will not be efficient would be rural areas, which are often overlooked by government. They area between each settlement and even each property would be to large to place one of these spaces in and expect all to be able to easily access it. In these cases the spaces will have to be mobile, moving from place to place to insure all are given equal rights and access to the service.

The last method discussed was virtual. This can be used to complete and improve the system. The use of virtual information transfer will be invaluable to get the populace at the service stations discussed above direct and real-time accessibility to politicians. The other way virtual systems can help with the political system is to allow users to log on online and contact their politicians at any time. However this could clog the system and flood the politicians with requests and questions, which would ultimately ruin the service entirely. This must be given further thought it get the system working correctly.
