...and that system is #GovernmentByCitizensAssemblies #SelectedBySortition
Given the fast approaching polycrisis/collapse, this is urgent.
If you agree, my DMs are open.
Let's see if we can make this happen.

That's bound to happen when neoliberalism and Party/Electoral politics co-exist.
Interestingly, when you swap Party/Electoral politics for true democracy ie #GovernmentByCitizensAssemblies #SelectedBySortition the Government will tend to work for the 99%.

Somewhere I heard that the darkest hour is just before dawn.
It's what stops me from giving up.
When that dawn comes we must seize the day to ensure it isn't ruled and ruined by leaders. We, the people, must take responsibility for governance.

Can I point out that ANY Party/Electoral system is heavily prone to this and other kinds of corruption.
How do you get democracy without it?
#GovernmentByCitizensAssemblies #SelectedBySortition

Why do we put up with the shit governance systems we have?
Is it too much trouble to change it? Are people too invested in one party or another? Does impending collapse not figure, preferring to believe BAU can last forever?

Tom Watson demonstrating precisely why we need to be rid of the political classes. He lets slip the disdain many politicians hold for the ordinary, non-political men and women.

Just one of the absurdities we seem to accept without question in our Party/Electoral system; just as a problem is solved, elections bring a new Party to government, and they undo it all!
#GovernmentByCitizensAssemblies #SelectedBySortition

Party/Electoral politics is a game show for the political classes.
It has very little to do with democracy and good governance.
We need to get rid of this cause of all our woes, and replace it with a system that takes our crises seriously.
