First, thank you for that. This world needs all the new thinking we can get. (I saw in the Replies that Dave Volek, author of “Tiered Democracy,” will be weighing in.) I am convinced that some more rigorous form of international government than the U.N. will have to be formulated at some point — and the sooner the better.

What you have provided is, I would say, more of a system of government. The offices of government are the functional core of a political system. A political system is the set of institutions via which a political process operates.

The political process is the process of effecting choices for the community as a whole: choosing among perceived alternatives and taking action to bring that choice to fruition. Those choices necessarily include determining what the political system/system of government is to be. The political process is therefore ‘prior to’ the political system/system of government.

Democracy is one form that the political process can take. It can operate via many different forms of political systems/systems of government.

I also thought you might find interesting, at the national level, this idea: a single sanctioned party with an unlimited number of 'caucuses' within it.
