Great story, PBS. Thank you all.
Would love to see a Part II that further went into this, including A) how to foster these positive changes in low trust environments where the systems are actually against collaboration, democracy, transparency and shared responsibilities/benefits, B) how to handle the interplay and balancing of responsibility, power and rights within societies.
It's easy to talk about giving people rights (or taking them away), yet it's harder to also share in responsibilities for these rights, particularly across different groups of people, sectors and countries in equitable ways that move society forward.

It's funny that they interviewed Macron to talk about deliberative democracy when, throughout his term in office, he has never held a referendum or allowed citizens to organise their own shared-initiative referendum. Also, the citizens' climate convention is just there to say "hey look, Macron is letting people decide this’ when it's simply pointless and it's not the most important matter for the French.
? New Caledonia be like: wait, what the heck are you talking about? We are part of France as well! We held referenda!

The climate convention was obviously very important. The point is, he ignored almost every one of their conclusions.
He's an authoritarian at heart masquerading as a democrat. He only cares about the interest of the capitalist class and more and more people realise it.
Excellent video! Great job PBS! Pablo from Argentina

This model of deliberative democracy is literally just a 4-day model congress. It just shows how congress should actually work in a representative democracy when they are not corrupted by capitalist lobbying and fattened by millions of dollars from special interest groups; when we elect people who are willing to listen to experts and change their opinions based on fact rather than base their advocacies on electability and party whip.
Well said.
First principle … Respect

People are just annoyed about the ever higher demands of their jobs, they fear the future, they fear they will be broke, they often are in debt so deep they will never get out of it, they don't want to be poor later in life, it causes a lot of stress, pain and grief. Instead of directing this discontent of the masses away from the people benefitting the most from the labor workforce, you should just give the people back more from that wealth they are creating. They will be happy to vote for you.
But right now it's the wealthy people who help the governments of the world stay in power or seize it. Maybe talk to them and tell them how they must change, not us. Can you do that? Betray your wealthy friends? Or is the cost of that your ability to govern? You are using the state to take from the people and then give too much of it to the rich, while they don't pay taxes. From the majority that voted for you to a minority that did not, they paid you, but they didn't vote for you. You have to give more back to those who deserve it and talk about it and prove it to your voters, so they can trust you and keep you in office, but instead you are pimping them out to the rich. That's also a reason they stopped trusting you. You know how you could regain that trust (in case you actually bother) back? Don't let them get too rich, if there's no rich people it means the rest of us have more power over all the stuff we built. It's a sure indicator of your success, and it's therefore a great display of your trustworthiness.
privatization of politics has ended democracy it is now a plutocracy.

Why ask a Banker for a meaning of "Democracy"?
Last time I checked , France is at 5th Republic
Direct democracy!
Pres. Emmanuel Macron has done so much for Europe. That diplomatic journey he went on was so important. He is the best world leader of our time.
In destroying Europe
what this talks about is a textbook definition of what anarchy *in its literal sense* is.
anarchy has come to mean, through mis-representation by the powers that be
and their bought representatives, the absence of self control,
when in its most basic form it is the exercise of each individual's basic rights
at a local level.
those volunteers you see cleaning up rivers and shepherding children safely across the street near schools,
that is anarchy working.
see a need? address it. get something done.
that it is done on a voluntary basis is because capitalism is too busy making a very few, already wealthy people
even richer, and doesn't have the time (or cash, it says) to spare, to do anything other than that.
Consider the lack of Spirituality! People have less respect for strangers.

You never speak of liberty. Why is that?
Part of democracy is that no one person ideally has more power over you than you also have over them, and the point of deliberative democracy in particular is allowing people to voice concerns and hash out their differences so as to optimize their values (which include which policies and structures facilitate liberty, equality, and other classic ideals).
