  1. At a local level, citizens assemblies have been seen to work. Citizens are randomly invited to participate, there is no compulsion. For a representative democracy, we must have some form of PR, but we also need political education for all, beginning in school. (Of course it will be difficult to agree a syllabus, as it was sex for education.) We need to look around the world and see what works, and what doesn’t. The US have a tripartite system, but they’ve screwed it up. The power of money to control the system must be removed, and the judiciary must remain protected from political interference. Getting rid of the ancient, impractical Palace of Westminster and replacing it with something suitable for 21st century government would be a start. (Sell it to Disney or Musk, as a museum/theme park.)
