Citizens’ Assemblies and Citizens’ Juries
The motion
That the Parliament recognises what it sees as the potential of citizens’ assemblies and citizens’ juries as means of facilitating greater public engagement in the legislative process; considers that inclusive policy making can be beneficial in resolving challenging public policy problems; believes that these include issues of existential importance to everyone on the planet, such as tackling climate change; welcomes the Parliament hosting its first citizens’ assembly in March 2019, and applauds the development of innovative approaches to increasing interest and participation across Scotland in the political process, including in the Edinburgh Southern constituency.
