DESCRIPTION
Democracy is broken and to fix it we need to change the culture. We have to make democracy innovative, open and co-creative. This means transforming government to value partnership and innovation and empowering citizens to become active citizens.TRANSCRIPT

The Democratic Landscape
How evidence shapes policy.
The [il]legtimacy of ideas.
The abandonment of ideology.
The colonisation of language.
Civic dislocation.
The Need for Change
People haven’t lost in interest in doing,
they’ve lost interest in systems that don’t
represent them.
Sustained engagement requires cultural
transformation and education.
Digitising a broken process creates a
broken digital process.
The four principles of active
democracies
Control is over-rated.
Power used to create personal advantage
will always fail.
Crowds are better at creating the future.
Self-reflection helps us understand the
impact of our actions.
