Jump in to this podcast at 40:39 to hear me speaking in Australia last December on #sortition and #ClimateChange and citizens' assemblies abc.net.au/radionational/…

More from Paris the other day at Doha Debates

I actually meant to say 'there's already been hundreds of citizens' assemblies and the like' but close enough! Here we have started a map of these events, but there are still many more to add: sortitionfoundation.org/sortition_arou…

#DearWorld - that was exhilarating! I hope everyone enjoyed last night's Doha Debates as much as I did.

#DearWorld , I'm very much looking forward to tonight's Doha Debates on loss of trust in government and in particular the consensus-seeking format!

On Saturday I'll be in north Italy at the beautiful TEDxLakeComo to talk about: Are we (collectively) stupid? (and how we make collectively clever decisions - no prizes for guessing how...)

Today I'm in Transylvania to promote #sortition and citizens' assemblies in this part of the world. A friend suggested that if they do a random selection here, alongside age, gender and location they might want to stratify by blood type :) civicon.forumapulum.ro

At IIRP in Belgium I'm presenting on - you guessed it! - #sortition . Title of my presentation (on Thursday morning) is 'Reforming governance through Deliberative Democracy'. Should be interesting talking to a diverse crowd!

Is #sortition a 'cracked brain idea'? I get a mention on the Canadian Agenda programme that talked about 'Fixing Our Democracy' on TVOntario the other night, at about 8:30 before the end - followed by an interesting discussion of sortition's pros and cons. tvo.org/video/fixing-o…

Yes! #Sortition , on the BBC soon: bbc.co.uk/5live

Very happy to be on New Internationalist with my take on the #sortition Citizens' Assembly demand of Extinction Rebellion Global and others. Enjoy! newint.org/features/2019/…

Do you think the media is part of the problem and not part of the solution? I often do. Which is why I'm supporting a crowd-funding campaign for an English-language edition of The Correspondent They're almost at $1m! thecorrespondent.com

Oh, wow, this blew me away. Q: What ideas would a #sortition legislature promote? A: cities '...would spend approximately $22.5bn more on social assistance programs.. if their councils were made up of the same mix of classes as the people they represent.' theguardian.com/us-news/commen…
