Equality by lot

Here’s the latest on the new book on sortition, and two events in London next week: the Citizens’ Parliament strategy meeting, and the Sortition Foundation’s first Annual General Meeting.

• The book: The End of Politicians is over half-way to being funded! It also has a new review by Professor John Gastil from Penn State University (author of Democracy in Small Groups) which you can read on Unbound: https://unbound.co.uk/books/the-end-of-politicians. If another 80 people pledge and pre-order the book it will be published.
• The AGM: The first Sortition Foundation Annual General Meeting will be held at 6pm on Wednesday April 6^th at Rasa Restaurant (6 Dering St, Mayfair, London W1S 1AD). Please RSVP if you intend to come along.
