1. Who gets to determine that and how much public input goes into the determination? To me public governance is not the same as party governance. The latter is far more like a private club - that comes with private ornate wood panelled smoke filled rooms too or so I've been told.
2. ...a public government would look more like an assembly of citizens randomly picked like jurors that are guided by a civil service of experts from all fields, including people skilled at facilitating public discourse.
3. The country is the club and everyone's a member.
1. Right. It's 'public consultation' so the design has to be brought into the public sphere but with its own governance. Try to remember that democracy itself has to be designed and there's a symbiotic relationship between the designer and the collaborators. Of course, if you think it's all
**** and burn-it-all-down then go to the back of the room... which means you are still allowed in btw.
2. Excellent. This is true, but also would need to be a subset of volunteers as it requires interest and ambition. Even then, you would have to account for a high percentage of non-response. I know from working with volunteers.
3. It's easier than it sounds. The chucklef*cks have done it for that segment of the public who believes Pizzagate. The government just has to open the doors a bit. Of course, once they do they know they will have less control so we have to demand it. But "it" escapes the public imagination because those who would participate in "it" are busy defending the status quo.
