# Weighted Democracy

You are as strong as your investment

This is similar to the Democratic model, however a weighting is give to each partygoers vote. This weightings is based on what percentage of the parties funds they have contributed. 

The party can only proceed with a decision once each member vote has been cast or the voting time limit has elapsed.

Example: Member A contributes 100, Member B contributes 100, Member C contributes 200. 

Member A holds 1 vote, Member B holds 1 vote and Member C holds 2 votes.

*Your share of the party funds, is still a percentage based on how much you initially invest.*
