''that you couldn’t write a set of rules to narrow down ‘qualified hint o’ poo’ voters that’d have us better off or be fair to all.''
don't bet too heavily on that one girl
and as far as my 'suggestion' and shoving it goes
you seem to not comprehend that sortition is already in use in many areas of society - the opinion and references below suggest that you may not be keeping up with the times ------------ can you catch up? that is the question.
Sortition is being used in a growing number of governing systems and decision-making processes around the world. According to the search results, the OECD has counted almost 600 examples of citizens' assemblies with members selected by lottery for public decision making[1].
Some key points about the modern application of sortition:
1. Citizens' assemblies: Sortition is most commonly used to form citizens' assemblies, which are groups of randomly selected citizens brought together to deliberate on specific issues and provide recommendations to policymakers[1].
2. Juries: It is commonly used in selecting juries in Anglo-Saxon legal systems[1].
3. Public decision-making: Sortition is sometimes used when other forms of selection, such as elections, fail to achieve a result. Examples include certain hung elections and some votes in the UK Parliament[1].
4. Other applications: Sortition is also used in military conscription, awarding US green cards, and placing students into some schools, university classes, and residences[1].
5. Organizational governance: Some organizations use sortition to help govern themselves democratically without elections. For example, the Samaritan Ministries Health Plan uses a panel of 13 randomly selected members to resolve select disputes[1].
6. Policy guidance: In countries like Ireland, citizens' assemblies selected by sortition have been used to provide guidance on sensitive political issues[2].
While sortition is not yet used as the primary method of selecting national-level governing bodies in modern democracies, its use is expanding in various forms of public decision-making and advisory roles. The growing interest in sortition reflects a desire to increase citizen participation and representation in democratic processes.
