Come visit Africa for a moment. Julius Awafong, leader of the Fair Choice Party, shows us some of the situation -- from foraging for clean water and cooking in clay pots to riots in the streets from unfair fuel and food prices. He feels vote sizing can greatly change the situation there. What do you think?
Votesizing has found a stronghold in South America -- more specifically, Colombia -- where the people have grown unhappy with the level of government corruption. Watch this video to hear more about votesizing's effort to empower Latinos so their votes count:

The Democratic Empowerment Party is headquartered in Vancouver, with a branch of the party in Cameroon, Africa.
President Steve Glickman founded the party in order to promote vote sizing, a radical reform of the voting system that gives poor, working and middle class people larger votes. Vote sizing respects the wisdom of ordinary people and believes they are the ones who best know how to root out corruption in government. We are working to establish chapters of the DEP all over the world to elect candidates who support weighting votes inversely to income, with the goal of restoring balance between power and wealth.
