I’m excited that you’re to the part of the book with sortition and citizens assemblies as answers. I have a question about this part. What if the policy issue involves a simple yes or no answer? Can a mass vote on this still be done, because it’s a no brainer? What I have in mind is for instance the decision to back Israel or not. It’s a no brainer to me. The answer is no. But I’d have to at least consider it again if a large majority said yes. Maybe it means these are advisory votes?
Just a footnote, due to recent events (Ireland…): It would be great to add a discussion of such failures AND their causes to the text.
This phrase “randomly review panels” should be fixed.
