If you attended the meeting yesterday evening (27 Jan) with 30 others organised by the Lib Dems, you may have seen reference to the SDA. The speaker spoke of citizens’ assemblies mentioning the Northern Ireland example in particular.

We are keen to support this idea so anybody keen to support it is welcome to keep in touch. We want to establish the principle in Wiltshire. The meeting expressed considerable dissatisfaction with politics both local and national and the speaker, Dr Ian Kearns was encouraging us to get active. He mentioned the Frome Flat Pack project which has been written up here.

A report by Dr Kearns can be read by following this link.

    I found the Citizens Britain document to be an interesting read. I particularly like the third case study Better Reykjavik. I wonder if we could set a website up to gather peoples views in Salisbury and then use it as a way of influencing the Council. The document referred to the OECD report on deliberative democracy and it was good to see that there is a deliberative wave sweeping the world as communities seek ways of strengthening democracy.
