@prma This is a fundamental #BugInTheUNSystem, and we need a solution. How about #DeliberativeDemocracy [1]?
* 100 adult citizens selected randomly from each UN member state;
* the 100 people select 1 member as "popular" UN ambassador;
* the popular ambassadors participate in UNSecCouncil meetings with equal rights as state reps;
* a permanent-member veto is only valid if *both* the state and popular reps agree to veto.
Embracing deliberation as part of the democratic infrastructure
🎉Seven years ago, the Parliament of the German-speaking Community of Belgium (aka Ostbelgien) unanimously passed a decree establishing and institutionalizing a “Permanent Citizens’ Dialogue”. The cross-party agreement during the design phase contributed to political legitimacy from the outset.
Rather than viewing deliberation as a challenge to representative democracy, politicians saw it as a response to its limits, including declining trust and political polarisation.
🎥In the featured clip, Nicole De Palmenaer describes the origins of the permanent body in Ostbelgien.

Achieving meaningful lives within planetary boundaries?
"Renewables are already much cheaper than fossil fuels. Alas, fossil fuels are up to three times as profitable. Thus capital forces governments to link electricity prices to the price of the most expensive liquified natural gas, not of cheap solar energy. Similarly, building and maintaining motorways is many times more lucrative for private contractors, car manufacturers and oil companies than a modern network of superfast, safe public railways. So capitalists continue to push our governments to subsidise fossil fuels and road building, even while the world burns."
"...Capital uses every tool at its disposal – debt, sanctions, coups and even outright military invasion to keep southern economies subordinate."

We all need to watch what is going on in places that are choosing to use sortition, deliberative democracy, and citizens assemblies. This looks like the way forward for our countries.

This is how you create independent journalism. And we most assuredly need it!

The more I hear about deliberative democracy, the more I think it's a better way of sounding out the popular will, as it stands *after* considering all the relevant information and ideas. Significantly better than either horse race elections or proportional representation elections.
So how do we make introducing more deliberative decision-making a vote-winner? So that political parties will make it policy to use it more, and embed it in our political institutions.
