AI is making its way into every aspect of our lives, but how ready are we to adopt it, and under what conditions? A report published in French by the EPFL AI Center, in collaboration with the University of Geneva, presents both the perceptions of a sample of French-speaking population of Switzerland and the recommendations of a citizen’s assembly.

#aras25 #Sortition #citizenassembly an addendum, in this system there would be a mix of “regular” politicians voted in alongside randomly chosen people with same rights to speak, cast votes, intro legislation. Hence “blended” sortition. You want a specific rep: go vote for one. If none appeal to you: let the law of averages do its job.

#aras25 #Sortition #citizenassembly
If the constituency has 90% turnout for regular candidates and no spoiled votes then there’s little chance for a sortitioned rep for that constituency. No transfers possible to sortitioned apart from untransferable votes.
So people who don’t vote or feel they had no option but to spoil their vote actually get represented fairly. (3/3)

#aras25 #Sortition #citizenassembly
Sortition is the process where we choose at random a representative for our parliament. We pay them well for their time. We might also agree to shortish terms so we get a good selection of people. Say a six month term.
Anyway the key to my proposal is - each election counts the uncast and spoiled votes as virtual votes for a sortition candidate. So in a 5 seater if nobody votes that constituency returns 5 seats whose TDs are chosen randomly. (2/3)

In the wake of the #aras25 election and the disturbingly large numbers of spoiled votes, here’s my modest proposal for election reform.
It won’t get any traction of course because turkeys won’t vote for Christmas.
I’m calling it Blended #Sortition
We already know sortition in this country through the #citizenassembly process that was thrown various political hot potatoes over last few years and dealt with them extraordinary well (1/3)

Looking for material (books, videos, etc) on citizen assemblies and sociocracy.
Would anyone on the fediverse be able to recommend something?

Desperate about politics as usual? We know the feeling...
Assemblies are one way that ordinary people are re-imagining how politics could be. In these times, the way we listen to one another, think creatively together and decide on our best next steps is crucial to do better.
Politics as usual deadens our ability to respond and care: new politics brings us together and uses processes that take us beyond polarisation into a deeper understanding of one another and our world.
Join us this evening at 7.30pm to hear more about how this could work where you live - and how the Transition Assembly in February could bring our movement together to re-imagine and re-create the future...

Why are farmers protesting across the EU and what can the bloc do about it? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/feb/02/why-are-farmers-protesting-across-the-eu-and-what-can-the-bloc-do-about-it?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
A hugely knotty set of problems I don’t pretend to understand but it seems a lot more joint engagement is needed to work the issues through. A classic opportunity for #CitizenAssembly maybe?
When “many farmers complain they feel caught between apparently conflicting public demands for cheap food and climate-friendly processes” of course we get resentment.
#farming - too important to get wrong
-
Next day of the #CitizenAssembly . Today we are supposed to come up with ideas and projects
-
Totally exhausted after day one. Lots of information. Three languages.
I did not kearn much new stuff today. And I do not see yet, what we are supposed to come up with. But we‘ll see.
Tomorrow is the next meeting
#GreenCapital #CitizenAssembly #Tallinn -
So it is quite difficult to follow the event in three languages and write here.
I will try to tell later. The principle is: Experts presentation for 15 minutes. After that discussion at our table. Then we can ask 5 questions which the experts answer.
The language challenge is big.
-
Interesting question: Can we craft during the assembly like @knitting?
Will it disturb others?
-
The goal is that #Tallinn will be the green capital of the world in 2035
-
This is our itinerary today
-
The assembly is held in Estonian but there are simultaneous translations into Russian and English.
I am a little bit nervous because I have never had to listen to a translation over headphones for a whole day.
-
We received some presents: a note book. a pencil with flower seeds in the end of it. And reflectors.
And we should answer a survey about the assembly
-
I am participating today in the #GreenCapital #CitizenAssembly of #Tallin And I will try to tell something about my experience here.
So mute the hashtags accordingly because it might get too much. -
23 rekomendacje pierwszego europejskiego panelu obywatelskiego - na temat przeciwdziałania marnowaniu żywności.

Gorąco popieramy panele obywatelskie, o ile tylko ich wyniki są potem wdrażane, a nie trafiają do szuflady.
