Rebooting Democracy

This is Rebooting Democracy. We are a political party who will move to a true democratic system where random selection (sortition) and deliberation are central.

@TheTunnelBear4 @MarinaPurkiss Go back to the original form of democracy, random selection. This is what @RebootingParty is advocating. A random selection of people look at evidence, deliberate and then make decisions.

here’s the composite motion on PR which will now go to the floor at Labour conference

So far, in order to combat the cost of living crisis, we have:

Tighter rules on benefits for the poor.
Lift caps on banker’s bonuses.

Unfortunately none of this is a surprise.

There’s this kid…

He has no toys

And this other kid

He has loads

You have toys to give away

Do you give them to the kid with none?

Or give them to the one with loads in the hope he’ll eventually get bored and pass some on?

It’s a toughie.

[Deborah Meaden 🇺🇦 @DeborahMeaden]

Of course they will… and us?

[Mitch Benn @MitchBenn]

Say it again. Say it slower. Keep saying it.

If, instead of political ideology leading our decisions, we had Citizens' Assemblies made of a random selection of people making evidence based decisions, do you think we would have built our energy systems in such a fragile, profit focused manner?

[James O'Brien @mrjamesob]

What a simple & powerful point.

[Sortition Foundation @SortitionNow]

As Gotabaya Rajapaksa flees Sri Lanka, could citizens' assemblies be one of the tools used to rebuild the country and democratic legitimacy? https://t.co/QSXOuCPZ2C

We are living in a parallel universe of absolute #denial over the #ClimateEmergency.

'Leaders' refuse to face it, refuse to even talk about it, continue business as usual with the same profound entitlement, arrogance and ignorance that facilitates the fossil fuel industry daily.

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

In my opinion all government policy stretching back up to five years has been a bag of shite. That's one less talk to give ....

Utterly corrupt slush funds

I went to Cambridge and didn't go into a well-paid job. I was a barmaid, then went into publishing, then became an academic. I'm permanently about two paycheques from wearing the Times as a sleeping bag. What a load of bollocks.
