Yes DEMOS, it is indeed a huge opportunity to improve the democratic 'quality' of our governance.
But do you think it will happen?
I can almost guarantee that it will be a major opportunity squandered.
"the alternative is to leave the transition in the hands of the same people who have looted the planet and led the people to the brink of ecological disaster."
The transition WILL be in those peoples' hands...and they'll make sure that the transition is one in which the core concerns that I mentioned in my last post don't get addressed, let alone become the centre of our efforts.
