This is a model of how democracy should work. Applied to the issue of Climate Change, it has taken the politics out of the issue and made some apparently very useful recommendations. Let's hope the politicians see it that way.
How can we initiate this in Australia? I will start a discussion or two.

Thanks Jeremy- that would be very helpful. We'd love to start a discussion on this in Australia.

Hi Jeremy,
Good to receive your positive response and desire to progress the conversation. Given your interest in democracy, here are two sites that may interest you:

Please progress your discussions with great passion...our democracy needs a refreshment of citizen interest and participation.

For a "wicked problem" (one that is difficult or impossible to solve because of incomplete, contradictory and changing requirements that are often difficult to recognize) a randomly selected citizen jury (asked to listen to all sides of the issue and take evidence from any experts it chooses) may help to obtain an evidence-based consensual outcome. Being randomly selected, a citizen jury's proposed solution may gain public attention and acceptance because its not seen as the work of bureaucratic or political insiders.

Yes Percy and Glenn says the French Jury was very well organised. The proof of the concept will be what the French Government implements from the Jury recommendations.
