I have recently created something related, targeted to the Swedish political scene. The basic idea is similar but the concepts I use are quite different. If I may say so myself, my take on it is less sophisticated but more elegant.

Google Translate does an OK job with the site (although the Swedish word "Kontakt" should not be translated as "Plug"):

http://digitaldemokrati.se

(The site currently runs on a minimal Heroku setup, so it will go down quickly if this catches some attention here on HN. Nevertheless, enjoy it while it lasts.)

Also, the project is open source, although the main public repo is currently in bad shape and not quite up to date:

https://github.com/digitaldemokrati

If there is some interest in this, I could do a write-up in English and post it here as a separate submission. Anyone interested?

PS. After lurking and posting from throwaway accounts since 2007, this is my first HN post in my own name!
