Stop calling for citizens assemblies. They are easily manipulated and used to launder the accountability for things governments find politically difficult, by the virtue that they are wholly unaccountable themselves. You want to make change? Organise politically. Do the hard work.

Wish I could step up and work. We haven’t used citizens assemblies enough to create an integrity structure. We lack appropriate integrity measures on politicians leaving democracy open for state capture. We have to change power dynamics, politicians unlikely to change that.
