FOUNDER'S MESSAGE
In civic life, democracy is a significant reference point for our sense of well-being.
When our faith in the political system is undermined by the realities of the current system, we become exasperated and disillusioned- with our politicians and with ourselves.
There is no doubt that most politicians are well intentioned but the way our system currently works means that their focus is too often on winning and retaining office: the electioneering imperative.
In 2005, a group of us, comprising ex-politicians, academics and business people, started a conversation about alternatives. We felt there could be better ways to effect government than adversarial politics; we think better representation and deliberation are key attributes to those alternatives.
On behalf of my fellow Directors and Research Committee, we are thankful to our supporters, our community leaders and volunteers…all of whom are helping to build a conversation for change.
Come..take a look..you might want to join too!
