What the petition asks
Use sortition, selecting public officials and legislators at random as the UK political & governance system - leaving behind what we see as the fatally corrupted (by funding/donation/Lobbying) Partisan/Electoral system. Parliament should be replaced by a Citizens’ Assembly selected at random.
We believe that the current partisan/electoral system is fatally corrupted by decades of party funding/donation/Lobbying - & no longer represents the UK citizens.
We think that A Citizen Assembly/Sortition system totally removes any/all forms of corruption or interference of democracy. Direct & participatory democracy, for UK citizens by UK citizens.
