How Much Democracy Is Too Much?
Find out How Much Democracy Is Too Much? at Big Ideas this August
Immerse yourself in some Big Ideas in 2008.
Sessions generally start with a question. Someone who has some relevant expertise gives a very brief, informal talk. After that a discussion develops in a free and unstructured manner. It's not a lecture, and it's not a debate; it's a pub argument, but unlike any you've had before.
On Tuesday August 26th from 7.30pm, you can enjoy a talk and discussion about democracy led by Hansard reporter Alasdair Mackenzie. He'll be asking "How Much Democracy Is Too Much?" in light of the Irish referendum on Lisbon and the possibilities offered by the internet for almost constant universal involvement by everybody in every corner of government.
Do we really want to micromanage ourselves, or is there life yet in the old idea of representative democracy?
Big Ideas takes place at The Wheatsheaf on Rathbone Place.
