Deliberative Polling to Address Lack of Trust in Democracy
To address the issue of lack of trust in democracy due to the disconnect between citizen preferences and policies passed by the government, the concept of deliberative polling is introduced. Deliberative polling involves gathering input from a diverse group of citizens through platforms that prioritize bridging differences, like the online pro-social media Polis. This method aims to highlight middle-ground solutions that the majority of citizens agree upon, rather than focusing on polarizing views. By implementing this approach, it allows for a more inclusive and representative decision-making process, which can lead to enhanced trust in democratic institutions and better policy outcomes.
