Great story (i.e., totally aligned with what I would like to see more of in the world)!<br>
<br>
I was particularly taken with the last few minutes where Manfred described the growing gap in Austria between citizens and government. The folks from Sweden seemed to agree. I perceive Canadians would agree as well (I’m from Canada). He spoke of representative democracy (which in Canada consists of elected officials in the House of Commons) and participatory democracy (which in Canada currently has no formal sponsor).<br>
<br>
With apologies to all Canadians tuning into this conversation, we Canadians have struggled with the current purpose of our Senate (which consists of appointed officials) beyond its original role as “body of second sober thought”. Building on Manfred’s experience, what if the Senate, as the body of second sober thought, gathered information by sponsoring “voice of the people” Citizen’s Assemblies across the country inviting citizens of all stripes to dialogue and offer recommendations on strategic issues facing the country?<br>
<br>
(I’m making up a story that the voice of the people needs amplification around the planet. Am I losing it?)<br>
<br>
Cheers ;-)<br>
