Great to hear from @HanneBasti from @demsoc taking about trends & innovations in #localgov #demopart across Europe at an @S_K_L event in Stockholm today.

Yes @involveUK - there's definitely something in the air! 2019 is off to a very good start when it comes to #demopart. Yesterday the parliament of Eastern Belgium approved the establishment of a Citizen Council - selected by civic lottery. #DeliberativeDemocracy

What relationship did 50 randomly selected citizens from across the UK want with the EU? #demopart #brexit #citizensassembly

Balanced and careful dialogue here on brexit, including majority of leave voters reflective of public. This will have been done to a very high standard. They ultimately prefer to stay in single mkt/cust union to no deal.

“If Whitehall wants people to feel like they have real power, Whitehall will have to give up some real power - on the big issues that shape all our lives.” - @juliaunwin

In Scotland 1% of all national funds for local governments must be allocated via #ParticipatoryBudgeting by 2020, and national government provides 2M£ to support this work. #ImprovingDemocracy2018

[Josh Lerner @joshalerner]

Participatory democracy is going big in Russia! Over 1 million people in 3,500 cities engage in #ParticipatoryBudgeting each year, with support of national ministry of finance & @WorldBank. #ImprovingDemocracy2018

I've read a lot of articles about the Trump white house. This is probably the one that has scared me the most. https://t.co/Ql9s9xNp3A

[Edward Andersson @ed_andersson]

Partner just declared a 'purdah' on further discussions of elections & Theresa May -in interest of continued 'strong & stable' relationship

[Edward Andersson @ed_andersson]

Been having trouble sleeping anyway due to a persistent cold and cough. Then I saw the exit poll. Need more covfefe....

[Edward Andersson @ed_andersson]

Good summary for anyone outside US wondering 'why don't they just get rid of him?' Will Donald Trump Be Impeached? https://t.co/HOCwAqMZML

[Edward Andersson @ed_andersson]

Deplorable that rape charges against @JulianAssange will never be resolved. At least it is evident what he is: coward & puppet of Putin.
