The End of Politicians

English

By (author): Brett Hennig

Our politics is broken, but it can be fixed.

A real democracy is not only possible it is an urgent necessity.

Provocative, succinct and inspiring, The End of Politicians combines insights from the history of democracy with a critical understanding of the information revolution to explain how we can fix democracy by eliminating politicians and replacing them with a representative network of everyday citizens.

A wealth of recent evidence has shown that groups of randomly selected, ordinary people can and do make balanced, informed and trusted decisions. These citizens' assemblies are legitimate, accountable, competent and, above all, convincing demonstrations that we can govern ourselves.

The future of democracy has arrived. It is time for the end of politicians.

About Brett Hennig

Brett Hennig is a director and co-founder of the Sortition Foundation whose aim is to promote the ideas within The End of Politicians: Time for a Real Democracy and institute the use of stratified random selection (also called sortition) in government.Before co-founding the Sortition Foundation Brett wore a variety of hats: as a taxi driver a software engineer a social justice activist a mathematics tutor and the primary carer of four boys; he finished his PhD in astrophysics just before his first son arrived.After spending several disheartening years trying to influence political decisions both from within and without the system he became inspired by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negris trilogy on political philosophy and began investigating and researching network forms of democracy. The End of Politicians: Time for a Real Democracy is the result of those years of work.
