Democracy is about much more than elections. Governments should be of the people, by the people & for the people, but currently many are failing on all these fronts. What is the political, economic and social impact of the ongoing centralisation of power within our institutions? Through exploring ideas such as municipalism, decentralisation, and electoral reform, and hearing from innovative projects in Scotland, Spain and places in England, this session will help imagine how we can bring about a new democracy.
