Great to hear from @HanneBasti from @demsoc taking about trends & innovations in #localgov #demopart across Europe at an @S_K_L event in Stockholm today.

Yes @involveUK - there's definitely something in the air! 2019 is off to a very good start when it comes to #demopart. Yesterday the parliament of Eastern Belgium approved the establishment of a Citizen Council - selected by civic lottery. #DeliberativeDemocracy
A fixed Citizen Council will set the agenda and monitor the follow-up by the elected politicians of the recommendations of individual Citizens' Assemblies. Both bodies will be drawn by lot from the inhabitants of the region as of 16 years old. #OstbelgienModell

Balanced and careful dialogue here on brexit, including majority of leave voters reflective of public. This will have been done to a very high standard. They ultimately prefer to stay in single mkt/cust union to no deal.

“If Whitehall wants people to feel like they have real power, Whitehall will have to give up some real power - on the big issues that shape all our lives.” - @juliaunwin
What’s in the civil society strategy is a good start, but we couldn’t agree more with this.
“Through their own stories and using their own language, huge numbers of people have talked to us about essentially the same thing: alienation ... Decisions are made by unaccountable people, far away, who don’t listen.” - @juliaunwin

In Scotland 1% of all national funds for local governments must be allocated via #ParticipatoryBudgeting by 2020, and national government provides 2M£ to support this work. #ImprovingDemocracy2018

Participatory democracy is going big in Russia! Over 1 million people in 3,500 cities engage in #ParticipatoryBudgeting each year, with support of national ministry of finance & @WorldBank. #ImprovingDemocracy2018

I've read a lot of articles about the Trump white house. This is probably the one that has scared me the most. vanityfair.com/news/2017/07/…
Partner just declared a 'purdah' on further discussions of elections & Theresa May -in interest of continued 'strong & stable' relationship
Been having trouble sleeping anyway due to a persistent cold and cough. Then I saw the exit poll. Need more covfefe....
Good summary for anyone outside US wondering 'why don't they just get rid of him?' Will Donald Trump Be Impeached? 53eig.ht/2rKz4Xm
Deplorable that rape charges against @JulianAssange will never be resolved. At least it is evident what he is: coward & puppet of Putin.
