Translating Sortition from Theory into Political Organization

---

Join sortition advocate and party co-founder Jochen Krattenmacher as he outlines the strategic reasoning behind the German Lottocracy party and shares early experiences and lessons learned. Jochen will reflect on practical challenges such as: collecting ballot access signatures, communicating a critique of “democracy” as electoral aristocracy on social media, and translating sortition from theory into a political organization.

The talk will also offer insights into the internal life of a political party that aims to make itself obsolete.
