Do elections ever really change anything? The American one in 2016 certainly did. The whole idea is that the people decide. But which people. All of them or just some of them.
Digital innovation in the voting process will be great if its secure. That's turning out to be a big if as electronic systems gradually take over. Should technology even choose our leaders ? Would it do a worse job than we do? Could the machines deliver election results to order one day?
Guaranteeing outcomes would be very big business. Big but dodgy. Millions of dollars are at stake as an elite team from the British Secret Service attempt to protect democracy from an Islamist plot to control America.
Seen through the eyes of three different people. London businessman Johnny Marriott - who has patented an automated system for profiling people. Investigative journalist ' Turbs' Turbanski - whose instincts unearth the potential threats to democracy. And Harry Shepperton and his specialist team from the UK secret service, who are charged with guaranteeing the future integrity of elections.
Pericles would be proud of them.
Demos kratos.
Let the people rule.
