===Abstract===
Yet letting every citizen participate in the discussion, and influence the option taken by the public, results tedious and everlasting meetings. Many citizens want to shape the solution that is being made. Many others want to propose their unique solutions, while others want to criticize the ideas brought to the table. It is a very cumbersome process that takes huge amounts of energy and time. If all residents of a small town should have the same influence on the solutions proposed, the deliberation may take years. As the body of decision makers grows, so do the time and energy it takes to make an equal decision. Because of its tediousness many citizens prefer not to participate in it, and therefore making equal deliberation null.
