When our democracies are broken, we need to ‘fix’ our societies. There are no quick fixes, but the good news is that society is resilient and people will make new connections.

MPs face a dilemma when it comes to deliberative mini-publics (DMPs): in a context of distrust, they may see it as an opportunity to re-legitimize themselves and solve complex policy issues.
