Luca Belgiorno-Nettis on the trouble with elections

Modern democracy may champion free and fair elections, but have they devolved into banal popularity contests and sloganeering circuses? Luca Belgiorno- Nettis believes the problem with politics is that we've lost sight of the genius of the original Greek democracy; a system that relied on political representation, not through elections, but by lot or random selection. These citizen juries, he argues, offer a better way to do democracy - more collaboratively, deliberatively and productively.
