Many citizens in the US and abroad fear that democratic
institutions have become weak, and continue to weaken. Politics
with the People develops the principles and practice of 'directly
representative democracy' - a new way of connecting citizens and
elected officials to improve representative government. Sitting
members of Congress agreed to meet with groups of their
constituents via online, deliberative town hall meetings to discuss
some of the most important and controversial issues of the day. The
results from these experiments reveal a model of how our democracy
could work, where politicians consult with and inform citizens in
substantive discussions, and where otherwise marginalized citizens
participate and are empowered. Moving beyond our broken system of
interest group politics and partisan bloodsport, directly
representative reforms will help restore citizens' faith in the
institutions of democratic self-government, precisely at a time
when those institutions themselves feel dysfunctional and
endangered.
