Editor's Notes
Democracy is broken. People don’t trust the process anymore.
One man. One Vote. Not scaleable -- until now.
Majority Rule. Competition among Parties. Attempt to satisfy the largest number of people’s preferences.
Values: Inclusion, Equality, Reasonableness and Publicity
Public Consultation is part of a Regulatory Process whereby the public’s input is sought on matters affecting them. Its main goals are improving the efficiency and transparency of public involvement in decision-making or policy development. Consultations occur at all levels: neighbourhood, municipal, regional, state/provincial, national or even international. Regulations exist in both the public and private sectors.
-This feedback loop shows how it’s supposed to work
-We run into a breakdown at the consultation phase, which doesn’t give the hard evidence required for accurate deliberation and desired outcomes.
-PlaceSpeak addresses the problems encountered at this stage
