Sortition is a powerful approach to genuinely represent the needs and desires of the Public's interest.
Our politics today is riddled with the consequences of addiction to power, money, sex, attention-seeking behaviour, and corruption, which dominantly afflicts the few we choose to represent us.
Sortition (e.g., citizen assemblies) deals effectively with addiction to deliver solutions which represent the majority.
Question Time 11 on BBC1 January focused on what would persuade an audience of undecided voters. No question was asked and no reference was made in any of the panelist answers on the question of carbon budgets and the green transition. Lisa Nandy seemed to have been have been undermined or intimidated by the Reeves and Starmer ambiguities. However, she did support the building of 1.5million homes sidestepping the issue of upfront or embodied carbon and that that scale of new building (especially in Starmer new towns and green belt) would exceed the carbon budget for the whole economy.
