17. Can juries save our broken democracy?

Our current electoral democracy is handing more and more power to the powerful. It’s getting more and more toxic. Why?
Because you need money, and connections to win elections. And attention. And all that violates our rules of life. All that sees politicians representing their own interests and those of their powerful backers. If they don’t do that, they’re never heard from again.
Meanwhile, how do we solve problems in juries? We all have our views, but we don’t go into battle. We talk, we listen, we compromise. All the time we’re not thinking “how do I get my way”. We’re thinking “how do we reach a decision we can all live with”.
And that’s how we can rebuild democracy.
