The "mediums" included in this directory should aim to capture the most discrete, modular elements of democratic practice. That is, *Westminster system* would not be a good entry because it is a historical phenomenon that combines many elements. Some of those elements, such as *proportional representation* and *parliamentarianism*, however, would be useful to include.

+Democratic Mediums is not meant to be exhaustive or encyclopedic. Entries should strive above all for brevity, clarity, and practicality. The model for an entry should be not a Wikipedia article but a technical manual, like [API documentation](https://www.mulesoft.com/resources/api/guidelines-api-documentation).
