Description

In this episode of Rules in Perspective I review the podcast episode 42 on Democracy for Busy People, a discussion I had with Kevin Elliott.
My three takeaways from episode 42:
0:42 It’s important to include busy people in democracy.
3:55 Political parties and political competition are crucial. The better parliaments represent the people’s interests, the more democratic our political systems.
6:00 We should dare to fundamentally question our current institutions and think about unconventional propositions and ideas.

What does it take to make democracy work? The Rules of the Game podcast discusses and compares democratic institutions from around the world. Institutions are the rules of the game of our societies that direct our everyday lives in fundamental ways. They determine whether we live in a free or repressed society – whether we can make our voices heard. Researchers, grass-roots political activists and politicians will join me on this journey of dissecting the struggle for fair representation in parliament, accountable executive governments, impartial justice, and direct democratic participation.
