This is a deep dive on a discussion between Ahmed Bouzid and Roslyn Fuller from the Social Epistemology Review & Reply Collective, initially conducted for a True Representation Movement (TRM) podcast. They critically analyze the current state of democratic participation, particularly focusing on citizen assemblies, which they argue are often influenced by external funding and biases, creating a superficial appearance of public input. Bouzid outlines the TRM's alternative approach, proposing a system where a group of working-class individuals directly vote on legislation, with representatives bound to follow their decision, aiming for a more authentic form of representation by bypassing traditional political structures and focusing on issues with broad public consensus. Fuller offers feedback on this model, particularly regarding the selection criteria for participants, while acknowledging the need for practical action over theoretical debate to improve democratic outcomes.
