YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhen faced with a deeply divisive national issue, Ireland tried something radical: handing the decision-making power to a citizens assembly. By taking the debate out of the hands of terrified politicians and televising the process for the public, the country managed to sidestep toxicity and move toward a meaningful resolution. This look at the Irish referendum process offers a compelling case study on how deliberative democracy can actually function to break political stalemates and unite a polarized population.
