through skilled facilitation the assembly members weigh trade offs and work to find common ground on a shared set of recommendations citizens assemblies can be more representative and deliberative than public engagement polls legislatures or ballot initiatives 71 72 they seek quality of participation over quantity they also have added advantages in issues where politicians have a conflict of interest such as initiatives that will not show benefits before the next election or decisions that impact the types of income politicians can receive they also are particularly well suited to complex issues with trade offs and values driven dilemmas 73 with athenian democracy as the most famous government to use sortition theorists and politicians have used citizens assemblies and other forms of deliberative democracy in a variety of modern contexts 74 75 as of 2023 the international organization oecd has found their use increasing since 2010 76 77 political proposals for sortition edit supplement legislatures edit political scientist robert a dahl suggests that an advanced democratic state could form groups which he calls minipopuli each group would consist of perhaps a thousand citizens randomly selected and would either set an agenda of issues or deal with a particular major issue it would hold hearings commission research and engage in debate and discussion dahl suggests having the minipopuli as supplementing rather than replacing legislative bodies 78 claudia chwalisz has also advocated for using citizens assemblies selected by sortition to inform policymaking on an ongoing basis 79 80 81 82 deliberative opinion poll edit this section is an excerpt from deliberative opinion poll edit a deliberative opinion poll sometimes called a deliberative poll is a form of opinion poll taken before and after significant deliberation political scientist james s fishkin of stanford university first described the concept in 1988 the typical deliberative opinion poll takes a random representative sample of citizens and engages them in deliberation on current issues or proposed policy changes through small group discussions and conversations with competing experts to create more informed and reflective public opinion 83 deliberative polls have been run around the world including recent experiments to conduct discussions virtually in the united states hong kong chile canada and japan 84 replace legislatures edit john burnheim envisioned a political system in which many small citizens juries would deliberate and make decisions about public policies 85 his proposal included the dissolution of the state and of bureaucracies the term demarchy was coined by burnheim and is now sometimes used to refer to any political system in which sortition plays a central role 86 87 while burnheim preferred using only volunteers 88 christopher frey uses the german term lottokratie and recommends testing lottocracy in town councils lottocracy according to frey will improve the direct involvement of each citizen and minimize the systematical errors caused by political parties in europe 89 influenced by burnheim marxist economists paul cockshott and allin cottrell propose that to avoid formation of a new social elite in a post capitalist society citizens committees chosen by lot or partially chosen by lot should make major decisions 90 michael donovan proposes that the percentage of voters who do not turnout have their representatives chosen by sortition for example with 60 voter turnout a number of legislators are randomly chosen to make up 40 of the overall parliament 91 a number of proposals for an entire legislative body to be chosen by sortition have been made for the united states 92 canada 93 94 the united kingdom 95 96 denmark 97 and france 98 99 étienne chouard advocates strongly that those seeking power elected officials should not write the rules making sortition the best choice for creating constitutions and other rules around the allocation of power within a democracy 100 he and others propose replacing elections with bodies that use sortition to decide on key issues 101 102 25 hire public officials edit proposed changes to the legislature of the parliament of tasmania a single legislative body of 50 100 people is selected randomly from the population and makes laws one of their duties is the selection of seven members of an executive council simon threlkeld proposed a wide range of public officials be chosen by randomly sampled juries rather than by politicians or popular election 103 non stratified sortition edit t l hulsey contends that stratification of the initial random pool to achieve demographic representation is a shibboleth groups are inevitably stratified to achieve a social justice objective whether acknowledged or not because the law of large numbers cannot be applied to create a sortition assembly of workable size 104 hulsey points out that demographic stratification falsely assumes that narrow demographic self interest spontaneously produces good policy thus representation becomes a shibboleth that trumps our shared common humanity for example the civil rights act of 1964 was enacted without black representation and title vii of that law prohibiting employment discrimination against women among others passed although only 14 of the 535 members of congress were women at the time 105 he quotes the disparagement of representation by a phillips griffiths of the university of warwick who said we should not allow lunatics to be represented by lunatics 106 hulsey s solution is to frankly admit that the formation of a workable initial pool is inescapably subjective and that smaller populations e g counties cities or neighborhoods be allowed to establish any non demographic criteria whatsoever so that a few randomly chosen applicants who meet those criteria advance to form the larger assembly 107 see also edit jury selection political egalitarianism
