Call a Citizens’ Assembly to examine whether our current democratic system should be complemented or replaced by participatory democracy such as Stewardship Democracy, in order to minimise risks arising from advanced AI whose capabilities may soon profoundly affect democratic decision-making.

To help prevent unprecedented social disarray, we believe our system of governance should be urgently reviewed. We feel this is especially important as public trust in politics declines and political polarisation increases. We therefore ask Parliament to establish a Citizens’ Assembly to examine the introduction of models of participatory democracy such as Stewardship Democracy, to strengthen democratic legitimacy while minimising disruption to existing constitutional and judicial institutions.
