I think the whole nature of politics should not be left to the favored few. That's the better educated, the richer and more resourceful of the human race. My idea does challenge the elite who have held the political position over the years, but not to say politicians do not know how to do their job. I just think that it is a job and every time there is an election everyone has the right to apply for the job as a politician, but more importantly represent communities and the country they represent. I think the idea should be global. At some point there has got to be change by finding a way to include everyday people in parliamentary affairs.

 

As members of a parliament, everyday people can make decisions about their lives and the lives of their communities from a more grass root level of understanding. In most of the worlds democratic countries there are more deliberative democratic institutions made up of professionals and everyday people. The mix of professional and citizen partnerships exist in housing associations, parent teacher associations, and other similar set ups. Mainly because the political class lack a connection with the needs of the everyday person. The institutions give provide a link between the politician and the people.

 

The idea I have takes forward the progress made by including everyday people in decision making, towards an over all position of full political representation.  You can run for a member of any parliament to become a politician as an independent or as a new political party. Below is the links that give the Scottish and English process for those parliaments. If you have any questions you can contact me at thepeoplesbook@gmx.com  @thepeoplesb00k  07455985791
