#citizenassemblies — Public Fediverse posts

Tried listening to a podcast about citizen assemblies.

The ideas were interesting.

But it sounded like they've drunk an awful lot of coffee or some bright spark had sped up the audio.
So I switched the thing off.

Saw a quote. About what "should" be happening with democracy today.

Thinking in terms of "should" in a disaster seems to be counter-survival.

@evdelen @SnowyCA

Given my druthers, I'd enact #Sortition to choose odd numbered #CitizenAssemblies guided by experts in whatever field is relevant to whatever needs to be sorted.

Need to figure out health care? Draw 11 names out of a hat, provide them with expert advice from qualified, accredited, medical health professionals and give them a ticking clock to sort it or they get dismissed sans pay.

Told ya I was a radical

#Scottish minister learns about Citizens’ Assembly

New model for local power

#Citizens’ #Assemblies are not talking shops

When done right, they offer structured, inclusive space to deliberate on issues that matter most:—housing, transport, climate, local services & propose real solutions

#Scotland commitment #democratic renewal & hopes to learn to upgrade democracy

This is crucial to helping people to run their govt & rebuild trust in #democracy

#CitizenAssemblies

Here’s an example of no enforcement of corporate regulation #gas #coal #wa #australia #auspol #AtlasNetwork
We’re told shortage of #gas so we need to open new gas.
Yeh?
Nah.
90% is exported or used by the #export #industry

Gas corporations supply 8% of the 15% of total production they are supposed to by #policy #agreement.

#evil #greed
We need #citizenassemblies

Somewhat sceptical of this. Some proposals for citizen assemblies in the past have been atrocious, sidestepping or limiting our democracy to the say of a hundred random people.

...but I'm open to them as a model for consensus building and providing advice to MPs, who face a torrent of shitty views from lobbying and pressure groups, silly small issue-focused charities, and other weird orgs.

“There is a growing body of scientific evidence supporting sufficiency as an inevitable strategy for mitigating climate change. Despite this, sufficiency plays a minor role in existing climate and energy policies.”

In other words, #degrowth is inevitable for dealing with #climatechange.

@grivettcarnac This is what happens when nobody bothers to vote.

I'd like to see Ontario abandon "professional politicking" all together, and replace the whole endeavor with a mix of #Sortition and Expert Guided #CitizenAssemblies

Citizens’ assemblies make an important contribution to democracy, but the government has selective hearing for the will of the people._By Tom Hardy

@accretor For that matter, they could also use #Sortition and internal #CitizenAssemblies to choose their internal governance boards and candidates.

In conclusion, we are confident that we can mobilise around 1000 Scientists in over 20 countries on every continent. There has never been a better time to join us, so stay tuned and get involved!
