  1. 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.

  6. @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

  7. #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

  8. 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

  9. 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.

  15. “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, is inevitable for dealing with .

  16. @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

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