As some1 interested in the merits of participatory and deliberative democracy, I wrote about my reflections of its potential in the context of the recent racist riots, thinking specifically about how in PDD spaces, unequal power dynamics mean that some topics are off the agenda.

'The long-term impact of the far-right riots in the UK cannot be ignored or minimised in the coming weeks and months.' As part of our new blog series, @deseonu writes a call for participatory democracy to address race & class injustices. Read it here 👇 eu1.hubs.ly/H0bZZYn0

Seriously this? Without naming the women. Defined by her father. WOW. It's 2024, right?

It's been a busy couple of days in parliament (understatement) but something that's often forgotten about is what the general election means for around 3,500 MPs' staff in Westminster and across the country... 🧵

Great to hear directly from members of the Citizens Assembly reflecting on what the process is like from the inside.

Nearing the end of the day and it was great to hear from James and Benjamin, two residents and members of the Citizen’s Assembly, about how the day has been for them! @involveUK



Great work.

During a debate on the #ScotBudget yesterday, our Convener, @kaukabstewart reflected on the support we had from the Whole Family Equality Project Citizens' Panel ⬇️



Looking forward to reading this

It's out! Working on this project has been incredibly eye-opening, revealing so much about how people think about democracy in the UK and what they want to change. I hope you will find reading it just as fascinating to read our final report.

2/3 People’s Assemblies are a critical part of a healthy democracy. We need more! Turns out “the people” have a lot of brilliant ideas as to how to make the world a better place for all. #PeoplesPlanForNature is going to be quite something. Stay tuned!
