Loomio

Q5 What should be on the agenda?

PE Phil England Public Seen by 335

Background:

We have been examining this question through a series of public events and a survey. We are doing this to help build a shared vision among democracy campaigners so that we can:
a) engage with the Trickett/King's initiative and campaign to make it have a better public interest outcome and
b) design and initiate our own process if the King's/Trickett proposal turns out to be insufficient.

We are moving this discussion to Loomio for a limited time in order to bring this discussion to a conclusion and see if there are any unifying statements we can agree on. These will then be put forward to the next convention planning group meeting on 11 September for possible adoption.

You are invited to propose unifying statements (using the green button at the top right-hand of the page) drawing on our work to date (see below) to see what support they receive from other participants. You can also comment on, discuss and vote on proposals that others have made. Those statements receiving the most support will be considered for adoption at the meeting of the next convention planning group on 11 September.

Work so far on this question:

i) Popular responses from the survey we conducted after the public meeting at the House of Commons on 10 May:

The agenda should focus on re-balancing power from corporations to people.

ii) Results of the temperature check of statements suggested at the end of our day of deliberation on 16 July 2106:

  • People in representative meetings set the agenda: which is – content based + organisation + education (73%)
  • Data informs the agenda – what’s making people sick, poor etc. How do we feel as we go through the process as an important part of the process (67%)
  • Participating, Learning and Action. Getting everyone involved in learning, gathering info and coming up with action (66%)
  • To what extent could this body use the civil service (53%)

Thanks Chris for this proposal. I have some questions. Who would the online platform be open to? How would we ensure everyone could participate? Would it not just be people interested in a constitution who set the agenda? How could we get input from those who are not interested, those who are not politically engaged?

Although this is closed I would like to support this proposal. Online platforms are critical to getting people who cannot attend in person involved. The critical factor is how to involve them in meaningful discussion and how their wishes are combined with people who are part of a face-to-face decision making process.
