    - Now this is democracy.

    "New Zealanders have been given the chance to write their own laws, with a new online tool launched by police.

    The "wiki" will allow the public to suggest the wording of a new police act, as part of a government review of the current law, written in 1958.

    Police say they hope to gain a range of views from the public on the new law before presenting it to parliament. "

    Not as direct as ballot initiative, but still interesting.
