I've already had a chance to look over this report, and it's great. I've told others about it b/c it's probably the most comprehensive and current document outlining options for democratic innovation to enhance public participation and deliberation.
Loved the high-level discussion with @tomdawkins and Abhilash on how @prfoundation1 is trying to unlock risk-sensitive capital, leverage government into greater action and focus on long-term thinking (with an ecosystem of enterprises), to bring about max impact 👍 #democracyapp
I’m anxious about our democracy. A step change in money and politics, questions about ministers acting lawfully, a PM conjuring alternate realities, like truth is a vending machine. Cops not on the beat. What are we going to do about it? https://t.co/DNbVH8pVeY
