<div>�</div>
<div>Coming back to our exchange a�while ago, I wonder if you can give me some links to where you elaborate on &#39;political commons&#39; - as compared to &#39;commons&#39; from an ownership point of view. By this I mean &#39;how&#39; this third force (i.e. non-private / non-state) shall engage in the political arena.�Since politics is an area of debate and decisionmaking that affects <em>all</em> other aspects of society too, I see a need to establish a forum - a �&#39;politcal commons&#39; if you so wish - where such (i.e. non-private / non-state) interests can be represented. I call this &#39;Reference Parliaments&#39;,�in which�I see a significant philosophical overlap with the ideas you promote. </div>

<div>�</div>
<div>Nevertheless, I cannot really see from your writing�&#39;how&#39; you expect this third force�to be politically represented. Can you elaborate on this?</div>
<div>�</div>
<div>Cheers</div>
