Networking with the Guardian

Anthony Barnett (London, OK): I have written a piece for Comment is Free on our Networking Democracy debate and have been dumped upon in the usual way by most of the commentators, though not all. I've tried to give the discussion a bit of context and also quoted the Michael Wills ippr speech. As you can see, I am trying (over-valiantly?) to separate the idea of a summit on a 'British statement of values' from the question we are trying to assess, how can the internet be used to deepen democracy?
