Radical with Amol Rajan - Could All Government Decisions Be Made Through an App? (Your Radical Questions with Hélène Landemore)
Yale political theorist and author of Politics Without Politicians, Professor Hélène Landemore, answers your questions about her radical vision for replacing electoral politics with citizen‑led democracy. She answers questions on app‑based referendum systems, how to persuade politicians to embrace open democracy, and why ‘de‑bundling’ policies could lead to decisions that better reflect the public.
They also explore how the architecture of parliamentary buildings shapes, and sometimes limits, effective governance.
