Alert! ‘Democratic Experiments’ – Coming To A Nation Near Yours!
Consider, if you will, this sub-heading from a recent news report in The Guardian!

President backs democratic experiment handing power to 150 people chosen at random…

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/10/citizens-panels-ready-help-macron-french-climate-policies

Has the hack who penned the words above NO idea what democracy even means?

Reminder – ‘rule by the people!’

That means the people of a community – a village, a town, city, county, province or, most importantly…

.

…a country!

The people can exercise power directly or indirectly, by referendum or through elected representatives.

Either way, they VOTE!

All of them, ideally, or at least those who wish to vote.

NOT ‘150’ of them ‘chosen at random!’

Macron’s scheme may be viewed as novel, or clever…

.

…or downright laughable…

.

…but it has NOTHING to do with democracy!

France has an elected president, an elected parliament and a tradition of referenda.

Why would anyone in his or her right mind then turn to a group of 150 individuals, even less representative than the UK’s House of Lords, to consider any issue?

Citizens’ assembly ready to help Macron set French climate policies…

Aaah, so the ‘experts’ – chosen, not at random, but by the ruling class – can direct the discussion and debate…

….as intended by the ruling class!

Don’t say we didn’t warn you …

UK Tax-Funded Climate Talk-Shop? Will BOTH Sides Be Heard? ..

Muppet Macron’s Mock-Consultation -“We’ll Only Talk About What WE Value!”

..more than once!

Anyone who calls that crackpot plan a ‘democratic experiment’ is politically illiterate, but that is what to expect from the Guardian.
Drawing lots is taking the mickey, not advancing democracy, but as you say there is an elite agenda in play.
