Im trying to get Hamish and Geraldine to do an episode on #sortition on their global roaming RN show.
I've emailed them.
If others email them too its more likely to happen.
Would you like to email them?

Q.
Has there ever been a national election in any country that elected representatives who accurately reflected the demographics of their adult electorate?
Even close to reflecting the demographics?
Ever?
🤔
A randomly selected panel from all adults would reflect society 100% from day 1
#sortition
I'll tell you the difference. The USA or more accurately the Failing States is not a democracy it's an oligarchy .
Australia is still a democracy but its diminishing.
Democracy is dying
What is next?
Lets fight for #sortition
It'll have a parliament reflecting the country on day one.
*) À pro pos "the Iranian people"…
Cp. the representative random selection of the Herefordshire Citizens' Climate Assembly(www.sortitionfoundation.org/herefordshir...)
#representation #sortition #citizens'assembly
Simply standard procedure of mighty players in the so called (!) democracy. #Sortition makes all thes moves of the powerful rich obsolete and transfers society into real democracy!
It's still Party dominated.
A ladder to power.
And a corruption highway.
No more Parties.

Imho we don't need politicians.

Who represents Iran? Only the Iranian people themselves.

Compare ethnicities in Iran and what #sortition [here: Herefordshire] could look like! How should they be represented except by their own representative samples?!

Who speaks for Iran? Who speaks for all of these ethnicities – except themselves?

Nope.
Who speaks for #Iran? The Iranian people ONLY.
Who decides for Iran? The Iranian people ONLY.
Reminder: this is called #SOVEREIGNTY.

“All real democracy is an attempt…to bring the shy people out.”

“New regulations for the elections of the doge introduced in 1268 remained in force until … 1797. Their intention was to minimize the influence of individual great families … by a complex electoral machinery” based on #lottery.

We really really need to explore this concept in real life and in fiction. The city of Sequoia in "A New Faith" is governed in this way.

Listening to the byelection marketing, from the likes of Polanski and Farage it seems the people who actually live in Garton have been forgotten. The way to change that is to change the way democracy works in this country. #PR, caps on donations, #Sortition, #compulsoryvoting, ease of #recall.
He doesn’t need to do a fucking thing. Which is disappointing because good government requires a strong opposition to hold them to account.
Unless we change the system entirely of course. #Sortition. #Auspol.
The only thing that works is #Sortition.
Members of "political" parties can never be a solution to problems of real people. The simply care for themselves.
I no longer want the right to vote for the duopoly or like things. I want #Sortition #Losdemokratie
Landemore's Politics Without Politicians had just come out, as another book about sortition hits the shelves: Democracy's Second Act. #Sortition #Lottocracy

die Menschheit ist schon seit tausenden Jahren oligarchisch organisiert.
die Afd ist nichts anderes, als eine weitere, autoritärere Oligarchenclique.
was wir brauchen ist ein wirklicher Systemwechsel
