Ako mislite da je demokratija iskvarena, evo zamisli: zamenimo političare nasumično odabranim ljudima. Pisac i aktivista Bret Henig predstavlja ubedljiv argument za demokratiju žreba ili nasumičan odabir vladinih zvaničnika - sistem sa korenima u antičkoj Atini koji se bavi mudrošću gomile i koji običnim ljudima poverava donošenje uravnoteženih odluka zarad opšteg dobra svih. Zvuči blesavo? Naučite više o tome kako bi moglo da funkcioniše, kako bismo stvorili svet oslobođen partijske politike.

Želim da govorim
o jednom od velikih pitanja,

00:16
perhaps the biggest question:
1
4078
2534
možda i najvećem pitanju:
00:18
How should we live together?
2
6636
1840
kako da živimo zajedno?
00:20
How should a group of people,

Kako bi grupa ljudi,

ili čak na čitavom svetu

share and manage common resources?

This has always been
an important question.

8
21236
2301
Ovo je oduvek bilo važno pitanje.
00:35
And today, I think
it's even more important than ever
it's even more important than ever
9
23561
2786
A danas, mislim
da je važnije nego ikad pre,

if we want to address rising inequality,
climate change, the refugee crisis,

ako želimo da se bavimo
rastućom nejednakošću,
rastućom nejednakošću,
klimatskim promenama, izbegličkom krizom;
00:43
just to name a few major issues.
11
31505
2580
samo da nabrojim nekoliko većih pitanja.
00:46
It's also a very old question.
12
34109
2706
Takođe se radi o veoma starom pitanju.
00:48
Humans have been asking
themselves this question
themselves this question
13
36839
2398
Ljudi postavljaju sebi ovo pitanje
00:51
ever since we lived
in organized societies.
in organized societies.
14
39261
2935
još od nastanka organizovanih društava.
00:54
Like this guy, Plato.
15
42220
2138
Poput ovog tipa, Platona.
Smatrao je da su nam potrebni
dobroćudni čuvari
dobroćudni čuvari
00:56
He thought we needed benevolent guardians
16
44786
2125
00:58
who could make decisions
for the greater good of everyone.
for the greater good of everyone.
17
46935

koji bi donosili odluke
za opšte dobro svih.

01:02
Kings and queens thought
they could be those guardians,
they could be those guardians,
18
50695

Kraljevi i kraljice su smatrali
da bi oni mogli da budu ti čuvari,
da bi oni mogli da budu ti čuvari,
01:06
but during various revolutions,
they tended to lose their heads.
they tended to lose their heads.
19
54298
3620
ali tokom raznih revolucija,
imali su običaj da izgube glave.
imali su običaj da izgube glave.
01:10
And this guy, you probably know.
20
58473
2398
A ovog tipa verovatno znate.
01:12
Here in Hungary, you lived for many years
21
60895
2071
Ovde u Mađarskoj, živeli ste mnogo godina
01:14
under one attempt to implement
his answer of how to live together.

22
62990
4077
pokušavajući da primenite
njegov odgovor na pitanje o saživotu.
njegov odgovor na pitanje o saživotu.
01:19
His answer was brutal, cruel and inhumane.
23
67886
3079
Njegov odgovor je bio brutalan,
okrutan i neljudski.
okrutan i neljudski.
01:23
But a different answer,
a different kind of answer,
a different kind of answer,
24
71315
3183
Međutim, drugačiji odgovor,
drugačiji tip odgovora
drugačiji tip odgovora
01:26
which went more or less
into hibernation for 2,000 years,
into hibernation for 2,000 years,
25
74522
3865
koji je bio više-manje
u dvehiljadugodišnjoj hibernaciji
u dvehiljadugodišnjoj hibernaciji
01:30
has had profound recent success.
26
78411
3117
je nedavno imao istinski uspeh.
01:33
That answer is, of course, democracy.
27
81552
2484
Taj odgovor, naravno, glasi: demokratija.
01:36
If we take a quick look
at the modern history of democracy,
at the modern history of democracy,
28
84839
3325
Ako se osvrnemo na kratko
na savremenu istoriju demokratije,
na savremenu istoriju demokratije,
01:40
it goes something like this.
29
88188
1635
ona glasi nekako ovako.
01:41
Along here, we're going
to put the last 200 years.
to put the last 200 years.
30
89847
3293
Duž ove linije ćemo da stavimo
poslednjih 200 godina.
poslednjih 200 godina.
01:45
Up here, we're going to put
the number of democracies.
the number of democracies.
31
93164
3016
Uspravno ćemo da stavimo broj demokratija.
01:48
And the graph does this,
32
96204
1928
A grafikon se odvija ovako,
01:50
the important point of which,
33
98569
1826
pri čemu je njegova važna suština
01:52
is this extraordinary increase over time,
34
100419
3253
ovaj izvanredni uspon tokom vremena,
01:55
which is why the 20th century
35
103696
1778
zbog čega je XX vek
01:57
has been called the century
of democracy's triumph,
of democracy's triumph,
36
105498
3143
nazvan vekom trijumfa demokratije
02:00
and why, as Francis Fukuyama said in 1989,
37
108665
3428
i zbog čega je Fransis Fukujama
1989. godine izjavio
1989. godine izjavio
02:04
some believe that we have reached
the end of history,
the end of history,
38
112117
3005
kako neki veruju
da smo dosegli kraj istorije,
da smo dosegli kraj istorije,
02:07
that the question of how to live together
has been answered,
has been answered,
39
115146
3662
da imamo odgovor na pitanje
o zajedničkom životu,
o zajedničkom životu,
02:10
and that answer is liberal democracy.
40
118832
2480
a da je taj odgovor liberalna demokratija.
02:13
Let's explore that assertion, though.
41
121696
2080
Istražimo tu tvrdnju, pak.
02:15
I want to find out what you think.
42
123800
1856
Želim da saznam šta vi mislite.
02:17
So I'm going to ask you two questions,
43
125680
1889
Stoga ću da vam postavim dva pitanja,
02:19
and I want you to put your hands up
44
127593
1745
i želim da podignete ruke
02:21
if you agree.
45
129362
1151
ako se slažete.
02:22
The first question is: Who thinks
living in a democracy is a good thing?
living in a democracy is a good thing?
46
130537
4278
Prvo pitanje glasi: ko smatra
da je živeti u demokratiji nešto dobro?
da je živeti u demokratiji nešto dobro?
02:27
Who likes democracy?
47
135246
1462
Kome se sviđa demokratija?
02:28
If you can think of a better system,
keep your hands down.
keep your hands down.
48
136732
3000
Ako na umu imate bolji sistem,
ne podižite ruke.
ne podižite ruke.
02:31
Don't worry about those
who didn't raise their hands,
who didn't raise their hands,
49
139756
2492
Ne brinite za one koji nisu podigli ruke;
siguran sam da misle dobro.
02:34
I'm sure they mean very well.
50
142272
1400
02:35
The second question is:
51
143696
1509
Drugo pitanje glasi:
02:37
Who thinks our democracies
are functioning well?
are functioning well?
52
145229
3280
ko smatra da naše demokratije
dobro funkcionišu?
dobro funkcionišu?
02:41
Come on, there must be one politician
in the audience somewhere.
in the audience somewhere.
53
149908
3045
Ma hajde, mora da ima
bar jedan političar tu negde u publici.
bar jedan političar tu negde u publici.
02:44
(Laughter)
54
152977
1100
(Smeh)
02:46
No.
55
154101
1150
Nema.
02:47
But my point is, if liberal democracy
is the end of history,
is the end of history,
56
155275
4704
Međutim, moja poenta je da, ako
je liberalna demokratija kraj istorije,
je liberalna demokratija kraj istorije,
02:52
then there's a massive paradox
or contradiction here.
or contradiction here.
57
160003
3611
onda ovde imamo strašan
paradoks ili kontradikciju.
paradoks ili kontradikciju.
02:55
Why is that?
58
163967
1152
Zašto je tako?
02:57
Well, the first question
is about the ideal of democracy,
is about the ideal of democracy,
59
165143
3851
Pa, kod prvog pitanja se radi
o idealu demokratije
o idealu demokratije
03:01
and all these qualities
are very appealing.
are very appealing.
60
169018
2850
i svi njegovi kvaliteti
su veoma privlačni.
su veoma privlačni.
03:04
But in practice, it's not working.
61
172345
2016
Međutim, u praksi to ne funkcioniše.
03:06
And that's the second question.
62
174385
1730
A to je drugo pitanje.
03:08
Our politics is broken,
our politicians aren't trusted,
our politicians aren't trusted,
63
176139
4184
Naša politika je pokvarena,
naši političari nisu od poverenja,
naši političari nisu od poverenja,
03:12
and the political system is distorted
by powerful vested interests.
by powerful vested interests.
64
180347
4140
a politički sitem je iskrivljen
interesima moćnika.
interesima moćnika.
03:17
I think there's two ways
to resolve this paradox.
to resolve this paradox.
65
185259
3000
Smatram da postoje dva načina
da se razreši ovaj paradoks.
da se razreši ovaj paradoks.
03:20
One is to give up on democracy;
it doesn't work.
it doesn't work.
66
188656
3279
Jedan je da dignemo ruke
od demokratije; ne deluje.
od demokratije; ne deluje.
03:23
Let's elect a populist demagogue
who will ignore democratic norms,
who will ignore democratic norms,
67
191959
3697
Izaberimo populističkog demagoga
koji će da ignoriše demokratske norme,
koji će da ignoriše demokratske norme,
03:27
trample on liberal freedoms
68
195680
1502
pregazi liberalne slobode
03:29
and just get things done.
69
197206
1633
i prosto obavi sve što treba.
03:30
The other option, I think,
is to fix this broken system,
is to fix this broken system,
70
198863
3897
Druga mogućnost, verujem, jeste
da popravimo sistem koji ne fukcioniše,
da popravimo sistem koji ne fukcioniše,
03:34
to bring the practice closer to the ideal
71
202784
2857
da uvedemo prakse koje su bliže idealu
03:37
and put the diverse voices of society
in our parliaments
in our parliaments
72
205665
3484
i da uvedemo raznolike
glasove društva u naš parlament
glasove društva u naš parlament
03:41
and get them to make considered,
evidence-based laws
evidence-based laws
73
209173
2984
i da ih navedemo da donose
obazrive zakone zasnovane na dokazu
obazrive zakone zasnovane na dokazu
03:44
for the long-term good of everyone.
74
212181
2040
radi dugoročne dobrobiti svih nas.
03:46
Which brings me to my epiphany,
75
214245
2293
To me vraća na moje proviđenje,
03:48
my moment of enlightenment.
76
216562
1635
moj prosvetljujući trenutak.
Želim da budete kritički nastrojeni.
03:50
And I want you to get critical.
77
218221
1532
03:51
I want you to ask yourselves,
"Why wouldn't this work?"
"Why wouldn't this work?"
78
219777
2799
Želim da se zapitate:
„Zašto ovo ne bi funkcionisalo?”
„Zašto ovo ne bi funkcionisalo?”
03:54
And then come and talk to me
afterwards about it.
afterwards about it.
79
222600
2333
A kasnije mi priđite
i razgovarajmo o tome.
i razgovarajmo o tome.
03:57
Its technical name is "sortition."
80
225363
2383
Tehnički naziv ovoga je „žrebanje“.
04:00
But its common name is "random selection."
81
228196
2452
Međutim, uopšten naziv
je „nasumičan izbor“.
je „nasumičan izbor“.
04:03
And the idea is actually very simple:
82
231029
2944
A zamisao je zapravo krajnje prosta:
04:06
we randomly select people
and put them in parliament.
and put them in parliament.
83
234537
3206
nasumično biramo ljude
i postavljamo ih u parlament.
i postavljamo ih u parlament.
04:10
(Laughter)
84
238148
1151
(Smeh)
04:11
Let's think about that
for a few more minutes, shall we?
for a few more minutes, shall we?
85
239323
2683
Razmislimo o tome
na nekoliko minuta, hoćemo li?
na nekoliko minuta, hoćemo li?
04:14
Imagine we chose you and you
and you and you and you down there
and you and you and you down there
86
242030
4444
Zamislite da izaberemo
vas, vas, vas, vas i vas tamo dole,
vas, vas, vas, vas i vas tamo dole,
04:18
and a bunch of other random people,
87
246498
2031
kao i gomilu drugih nasumičnih ljudi,
04:20
and we put you in our parliament
for the next couple of years.
for the next couple of years.
88
248553
3142
i postavimo vas u naš parlament
na narednih nekoliko godina.
na narednih nekoliko godina.
04:23
Of course, we could stratify the selection
to make sure that it matched
to make sure that it matched
89
251719
4269
Naravno, možemo da raslojimo izbor
kako bismo se postarali da odgovara
kako bismo se postarali da odgovara
04:28
the socioeconomic and demographic
profile of the country
profile of the country
90
256012
3580
društveno-ekonomskom
i demografskom profilu države
i demografskom profilu države
04:31
and was a truly representative
sample of people.
sample of people.
91
259616
3382
i da je uistinu
reprezentativan uzorak ljudi.
reprezentativan uzorak ljudi.
04:35
Fifty percent of them would be women.
92
263022
2578
Pedeset posto bi bile žene.
04:37
Many of them would be young,
some would be old,
some would be old,
93
265624
2810
Mnogi od njih bi bili mladi,
neki bi bili stari,
neki bi bili stari,
04:40
a few would be rich,
94
268458
1325
nekolicina bi bila bogata,
04:41
but most of them would be
ordinary people like you and me.
ordinary people like you and me.
95
269807
3982
ali bi većina njih bila
obični ljudi kao vi i ja.
obični ljudi kao vi i ja.
04:46
This would be a microcosm of society.
96
274396
3699
Bio bi to mikrokosmos društva.
04:50
And this microcosm would simulate
how we would all think,
how we would all think,
97
278119
4212
A taj mikrokosmos bi simulirao
to kako mi razmišljamo,
to kako mi razmišljamo,
04:54
if we had the time, the information
98
282355
3044
ako bismo imali vremena, informacije
04:57
and a good process to come to
the moral crux of political decisions.
the moral crux of political decisions.
99
285423
4577
i dobar proces da zadremo
u moralnu srž političkih odluka.
u moralnu srž političkih odluka.
05:02
And although you may not be in that group,
100
290024
2063
Čak i ako možda ne biste bili u toj grupi,
05:04
someone of your age,
someone of your gender,
someone of your gender,
101
292111
2151
neko iz vaše starosne grupe,
neko vašeg roda,
neko vašeg roda,
05:06
someone from your location
and someone with your background
and someone with your background
102
294286
2873
neko iz vašeg mesta
i neko s vašim iskustvom
i neko s vašim iskustvom
05:09
would be in that room.
103
297183
1466
bi bio u toj prostoriji.
05:11
The decisions made by these people
would build on the wisdom of crowds.
would build on the wisdom of crowds.
104
299743
4120
Odluke koje bi donosili ti ljudi
bi se nadograđivale na mudrost gomile.
bi se nadograđivale na mudrost gomile.
05:15
They would become more
than the sum of their parts.
than the sum of their parts.
105
303887
2396
Postali bi više od zbira svojih delova.
05:18
They would become critical thinkers
106
306307
2024
Postali bi kritički mislioci
05:20
with access to experts,
107
308355
1820
sa pristupom stručnjacima,
05:22
who would be on tap but not on top.
108
310199
3132
koji bi bili u pripravnosti,
ali ne na vlasti.
ali ne na vlasti.
05:25
And they could prove
that diversity can trump ability

109
313355
3508
A oni bi mogli da dokažu da različitost
može da pobedi stručnost

05:28
when confronting the wide array
of societal questions and problems.

kada smo suočeni sa širokom lepezom

društvenih pitanja i problema.
05:34
It would not be government
by public opinion poll.
by public opinion poll.
111
322466
3855
Ne bi to bila vlada izabrana
anketama javnog mnjenja.
anketama javnog mnjenja.
05:38
It would not be government by referendum.
112
326855
3190
Ne bi to bila vlada izabrana referendumom.
05:42
These informed, deliberating people
would move beyond public opinion

113
330069
5207
Ovi informisani, promišljeni ljudi
bi se kretali mimo javnog mnjenja

to the making of public judgments.
114
335300

ka izgradnji javnih sudova.

However, there would be
one major side effect:

338866
3221
Međutim, imali bismo jednu veću nuspojavu:
05:54
if we replaced elections with sortition
116
342724
2832
ako zamenimo izbore žrebanjem
05:57
and made our parliament
truly representative of society,

117
345580
3688
i učinimo parlament
istinskim zastupnikom društva,
istinskim zastupnikom društva,
06:01
it would mean the end of politicians.
118
349292
2849
to bi značilo kraj za političare.
06:04
And I'm sure we'd all be
pretty sad to see that.
pretty sad to see that.
119
352165
2499
I sigurno bismo svi bili
izuzetno tužni zbog toga.
izuzetno tužni zbog toga.

(Smeh)
06:08
Very interestingly,
121
356810
1712
Veoma je interesantno,
06:10
random selection was a key part
of how democracy was done

122
358546
3689
nasumičan izbor je bio ključni deo
toga kako se demokratija praktikovala

It's an ancient Athenian

to fill the vast majority

06:39
And I think we know these things as well.
130
387157
2507
A mislim da i mi to znamo.
06:41
But more interesting than
the ancient use of random selection
the ancient use of random selection
131
389688
3793
Međutim, interesantnije
od antičke upotrebe nasumičnog izbora
od antičke upotrebe nasumičnog izbora
06:45
is its modern resurgence.
132
393505
2172
je njegov savremeni ponovni uspon.
06:47
The rediscovery of the legitimacy
of random selection in politics

395701
4730
Ponovno otkriće legitimnosti
nasumičnog izbora u politici
nasumičnog izbora u politici
06:52
has become so common lately,
134
400455
1864
je od nedavno postalo toliko ustaljeno
06:54
that there's simply
too many examples to talk about.
too many examples to talk about.
135
402343
2686
da prosto postoji previše primera
da o njima govorimo.
da o njima govorimo.
06:57
Of course, I'm very aware
that it's going to be difficult
that it's going to be difficult
136
405053
2786
Naravno, veoma sam svestan
da će da bude teško
da će da bude teško
06:59
to institute this in our parliaments.
137
407863
2627
uvesti ovo u naš parlament.
07:02
Try this -- say to your friend,
138
410514
1714
Pokušajte ovo - recite prijatelju:
07:04
"I think we should populate our parliament
with randomly selected people."

139
412252
3809
„Smatram da bi trebalo naseliti parlament
nasumično odabranim ljudima.”

07:08
"Are you joking?

„Šališ li se?

What if my neighbor gets chosen?

07:13
But the perhaps surprising
but overwhelming and compelling evidence

143
421331
4746
Međutim, možda je iznenađujuće,
ali ogromni i neoborivi dokazi
ali ogromni i neoborivi dokazi
07:18
from all these modern examples
144
426101
1921
iz svih ovih savremenih primera
07:20
is that it does work.
145
428046
1944
kažu da to deluje.
07:22
If you give people responsibility,
they act responsibly.

146
430014
4124
Ako date ljudima odgovornost,
ponašaju se odgovorno.
ponašaju se odgovorno.
07:26
Don't get me wrong -- it's not a panacea.
147
434678
2256
Ne shvatajte me pogrešno -
ne radi se o panakeji.
ne radi se o panakeji.
07:28
The question is not:
Would this be perfect?
Would this be perfect?
148
436958
3008
Pitanje nije: da li bi ovo bilo savršeno?
07:31
Of course not.
149
439990
1151
Naravno da ne bi.
07:33
People are fallibly human,
150
441165
1365
Ljudi su falična bića
07:34
and distorting influences
will continue to exist.
will continue to exist.
151
442554
2940
i naopaki uticaji bi i dalje postojali.
07:37
The question is: Would it be better?
152
445875
2701
Pitanje glasi: da li bi bilo bolje?
07:40
And the answer to that question,
to me at least, is obviously yes.
to me at least, is obviously yes.
153
448600
4628
A odgovor na to pitanje,
bar meni, je očigledno da.
bar meni, je očigledno da.
07:45
Which gets us back
to our original question:
to our original question:
154
453252
3215
A to nas vraća na naše prvobitno pitanje:
07:49
How should we live together?
155
457010
1941
kako da živimo zajedno?
07:50
And now we have an answer:
156
458975
1754
A sada imamo odgovor:
07:52
with a parliament that uses sortition.
157
460753
3361
sa parlamentom koji koristi žrebanje.
07:56
But how would we get from here to there?
158
464745
2848
Međutim, kako da stignemo odavde do tamo?
07:59
How could we fix our broken system
159
467617
2341
Kako da popravimo naš pokvareni sistem
08:01
and remake democracy for the 21st century?
160
469982
3275
i da obnovimo demokratiju za XXI vek?
08:05
Well, there are several
things that we can do,
things that we can do,
161
473784
3222
Pa, postoji nekoliko stvari
koje možemo da učinimo,
koje možemo da učinimo,
08:09
and that are, in fact,
happening right now.
happening right now.
162
477030
3071
a one su upravo u toku, zapravo.
Možemo da eksperimentišemo sa žrebanjem.
08:12
We can experiment with sortition.
163
480125
1842
08:13
We can introduce it to schools
and workplaces and other institutions,
and workplaces and other institutions,
164
481991
4229
Možemo da ga uvedemo u škole
i radna mesta i druge institucije,

08:18
like Democracy In Practice
is doing in Bolivia.

165
486244
3087
kao što u Bolivij radi
Demokratija u praksi.
Demokratija u praksi.
08:21
We can hold policy juries
and citizens' assemblies,
and citizens' assemblies,
166
489355
3198
Možemo da imamo zakonodavna
sudska i građanska zasedanja,

08:24
like the newDemocracy Foundation
is doing in Australia,

kao što u Australiji radi
Nova demokratska fondacija,

08:27
like the Jefferson Center
is doing in the US

168
495635

kao što radi Centar Džeferson u SAD-u
08:30
and like the Irish government
is doing right now.
is doing right now.
169
498071
2980
i kao što trenutno radi irska vlada.
08:33
We could build a social movement
demanding change,
demanding change,
170
501508
2896
Mogli bismo da izgradimo
društveni pokret koji zahteva promenu,
društveni pokret koji zahteva promenu,
08:36
which is what the Sortition Foundation
is doing in the UK.
is doing in the UK.
171
504428
3207
a upravo to u Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu
radi Fondacija žrebanja.
radi Fondacija žrebanja.
08:40
And at some point, we should institute it.
172
508062
2420
A u nekoj tački bi trebalo
to da ozakonimo.
to da ozakonimo.
08:42
Perhaps the first step would be
a second chamber in our parliament,
a second chamber in our parliament,
173
510506
4278
Možda bi prvi korak bio
drugi dom u našim parlamentima,
drugi dom u našim parlamentima,
08:46
full of randomly selected people --
174
514808
2174
ispunjen nasumično odabranim ljudima -
08:49
a citizens' senate, if you will.
175
517006
2294
građanski senat, ako hoćete.
08:51
There's a campaign
for a citizens' senate in France
for a citizens' senate in France
176
519324
3109
Postoji kampanja
za građanski senat u Francuskoj
za građanski senat u Francuskoj
08:54
and another campaign in Scotland,
177
522457
2247
i još jedna kampanja u Škotskoj,
08:56
and it could, of course, be done
right here in Hungary.
right here in Hungary.
178
524728
3079
i mogla bi, naravno,
da se izvede i ovde u Mađarskoj.
da se izvede i ovde u Mađarskoj.
08:59
That would be kind of like a Trojan horse
right into the heart of government.
right into the heart of government.
179
527831
4940
To bi bio nekakav trojanski konj
u samom srcu vlade.
u samom srcu vlade.
09:05
And then, when it becomes impossible
180
533136
1981
A onda, kad postane nemoguće
09:07
to patch over the cracks
in the current system,
in the current system,
181
535141
2555
da se krpe pukotine u trenutnom sistemu,
09:09
we must step up and replace
elections with sortition.
elections with sortition.
182
537720
3223
moramo da iskoračimo
i zamenimo izbore žrebanjem.
i zamenimo izbore žrebanjem.
09:13
I have hope.
183
541332
1254
Gajim nadu.
09:14
Here in Hungary,
systems have been created,
systems have been created,
184
542610
2332
Ovde u Mađarskoj stvarali su se sistemi
09:16
and systems have been
torn down and replaced
torn down and replaced
185
544966
2087
i sistemi su svrgavani i menjani
09:19
in the past.
186
547077
1209
u prošlosti.
09:20
Change can and does happen.
187
548310
2816
Promena može da se desi i dešava se.
09:23
It's just a matter of when and how.
188
551150
2612
Samo je pitanje kada i kako.
09:25
Thank you.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Brett Hennig - Author, activistBrett Hennig co-founded and directs the Sortition Foundation, which campaigns to institute the use of stratified, random selection (also called sortition) in government.
Why you should listen
Before co-founding the Sortition Foundation, Brett Hennig wore a variety of hats: as a taxi driver, a software engineer, a social justice activist, a mathematics tutor and the primary carer of four boys. He finished his PhD in astrophysics just before his first son arrived.
After spending several disheartening years in civil society organizations and politics, Hennig became inspired by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's trilogy on political philosophy and began investigating and researching network forms of democracy. The resulting book, The End of Politicians: Time for a Real Democracy, has been called "a book for visionaries" by New Internationalist contributing editor James Kelsey Fry and described as "a powerful critique and provocative alternative" by Professor Erik Olin Wright of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Hennig has given many talks promoting sortition and has contributed a chapter, "Who needs elections? Accountability, Equality, and Legitimacy under Sortition," to the forthcoming book Legislature by Lot: Transformative Designs for Deliberative Governance (Verso, 2019).
