Ako mislite da je demokratija iskvarena, evo zamisli: zamenimo političare nasumično odabranim ljudima. Pisac i aktivista Bret Henig predstavlja ubedljiv argument za demokratiju žreba ili nasumičan odabir vladinih zvaničnika - sistem sa korenima u antičkoj Atini koji se bavi mudrošću gomile i koji običnim ljudima poverava donošenje uravnoteženih odluka zarad opšteg dobra svih. Zvuči blesavo? Naučite više o tome kako bi moglo da funkcioniše, kako bismo stvorili svet oslobođen partijske politike.

Šta ako bismo političare zamenili nasumično odabranim ljudima?

Representative democracy promises equality, but in practice, many feel politics is broken and dominated by vested interests. The idea of sortition, or randomly selecting citizens for parliament, echoes the system used in ancient Athens and is gaining modern traction. By mirroring a nation’s true diversity—age, gender, wealth—random selection could lead to more trusted, thoughtful, and evidence-based decisions. Experiments in countries like Ireland and Australia show that when people are given responsibility, they often rise to the challenge.
