“Sortition - the Original Form and meaning of Democracy”
Is voting the best way to select representatives? Do the politicians you vote for actually represent you? The Greeks didn’t think so. They knew a thing or two about human nature and our penchant for corruption, which is why they selected their legislators by lot. Author, activist and student of political history Michael Poulin leads a discussion on the merits of both systems – elections or random selection - of selecting our representatives.
