Adrianos, nice to receive your post. I would recommend that you take a look at Minnesota eDemocracy and some of the experiences in Scandinavian countries -- a good place to start might be in Steve Clift's "democracies online" site, http://dowire.org/wiki/Main_Page
Also, the National Science Foundation in the US has begun to look at these questions, at: http://www.diggov.org/ The UK has also been pretty busy setting up online consultations to improve local government authorities' responsiveness to citizen-identified needs. Finally, of few notable experiments (which you can google) include: - CityScan in Hartford (improve service delivery) - Balitmore's CityStat program - Mayor Williams' "Citizen Summit" process in DC Hope this helps get you rolling!
