The Scottish Government says it is committed to deepening democracy in Scotland. This is vital and timely, as trust in democracy is at a very low ebb. In other places the response to social, economic and environmental spasms looks like populism and authoritarianism; we must act now to guard against that here.
Radical action is required to remake Scotland’s democratic institutions so that they serve the people in the 21st Century. The Government’s innovative commitment to citizens’ assemblies and remaking of local democracy in the next parliament could make Scotland a world leader on reimagining and defending democracy. Come and discuss what’s happening and what should happen next.
