Sortition
Sortition: The act of selecting for a position by random lots
Isn't having random people in positions of power kinda scary?
Yes, as things are right now.
Stratified, Rolling, Volenteer, Meritocratic/Representative Sortition
with a transition to...
e-Liquid Direct Democracy
But that's for another talk...
Stratified - Multiple committees to distribute responsilities
Rolling - Only a fraction of members are voted in/out per election
Volunteer - Opt-in only
Meritocratic - min. skills/education based on role of committee
Representative - Composition of committee must resemble the population
This is all great, but...
sounds like a ton of work for people.
you said the right way should be the easy way, right?
