ActNow! See and shape society with 2020 vision.

You hold the key to better government. The key is People Power.
Leaders
Forget the need for “good leaders”. Lord Acton was right when he said “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. “Good Leaders” often treat the people badly and look after themselves first and their backers second. Monarchies and dictatorships have strong leaders and it often works badly for the community.
Most politicians are not “leaders” they are followers. They have to be, because they depend on pleasing the people, or the media barons, or the rich industrialists, or their parties in order to keep their jobs.
We see that time and time again when those who fund political parties receive large benefits from the governments those parties lead. Look what the banks got in return for their political donations through the 1970’s and 1980’s – billions in profits and huge executive salaries plus the right to mislead, defraud and cheat customers free from prosecution.
Power
Democracy makes a big difference, even with a monarchy in place, because real power resides with the people.
Few of us are immune to the corrupting influence of power. But as absolute power corrupts absolutely because it is concentrated, People Power corrupts very little, because it is shared widely.
ActNow! Is the initiative of Voters.Network (The Australian Voters Network), free of any party politics. It gives Australians incredible People Power.

Here are some of the steps to power:
Confer and decide in communities on what you want done. You will not agree on everything but you will agree on a lot.

1. Decide as a community what you want done. Use the ActNow! forum and voting facilities on the Voters Network website
2. Tell the government what is wanted in a persuasive way, by Votergram to Members of Parliament (MPs).
3. Engage in discussion and debate with those MPs who respond, to bring them onside.
4. Monitor what your MPs achieve for you and society.
5. Rate them and their political parties, on this website’s ratings page, according to how well they represent you, which is what they are elected and paid for.
6. Use those ratings to determine who you vote for in your local electorate each election.

When we, the people, work together we have great power to produce good outcomes for all of us.

When we work with the politicians who we elect to represent us in parliament we have even greater power. They will work for us when we work with them – free of party politics.

ActNow! Your future depends on it!
