Hello,
I'm a french Polkadot ambassador. I follow daily&nbsp; Polkadot OpenGov. It's an importance place for community but I think we must think about another voting system.
Why ?&nbsp;
There are two issues in the Polkadot governance:
&mdash; We can't use DOT staking in nomination pool, DOT staking a liquid staking protocol or DOT locked for crowdloan. So, a lot of community members can't vote for governance (small holders use often liquid staking or nomination pool).
&mdash; Whales are too much voting power. We saw in several votes a decision taken by 1 whale in fact...
We must find solutions for these two issues
&mdash; All DOT must be used to calculate voting power
&mdash; we can try another system to calculate voting power:
(1) on chain reputation system with Soulbound Tokens
(2) voting power calculation which favors small holders (for example less than 100 DOT: x50 - 101-500: X20 -500-1000: x10&hellip;). But this bonus could be used only with verified account to avoid bots.
(3) quadratic voting: For example Token holders can used their voting power only once or twice during a decision period (28 days). Token holders wil vote for the most important proposals for them. Quadratic voting put another game theory in Polkadot governance.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
it's just some ideas to improve OpenGov. It's an awesome tool for Polkadot community but currently there are several barriers and a lot of community members are only powerless witness. OpenGov is here for all community members.&nbsp;

- The writer is a Polkadot ambassador and thinks there should be a new voting system.
- There are two problems with the current system: small holders can't vote and whales have too much power.
- The writer suggests using all DOT for voting power and trying different ways to calculate voting power.
- Some ideas are using a reputation system, giving bonuses to small holders, and using quadratic voting.
- The writer wants to improve the OpenGov tool so that all community members can participate.
