[EM] Open budget primary

Here's a rough design for an open budget primary based on transitive
delegation: http://zelea.com/w/Stuff:Votorola/p/budgeting

It runs in parallel with an open executive primary of similar design.
The officers currently nominated in the executive primary maintain
accounts for particular programs and services in the budget primary.
Each voting participant has a single vote to cast into an account.
Together the participants shift these votes to ensure that the most
important accounts are sufficiently funded.  When the executive is
eventually elected, it comes complete with a primary budget.

Will this work as hoped?  Or is there an obvious flaw?
