**Anthony Barnett (London,** [**OK**](http://ourkingdom.opendemocracy.net/?ref=opendemocracy.net)**):** I have written a piece for [Comment is Free](http://commentisfree.guardian.co.uk/anthony%5Fbarnett/2008/03/democracy%5F20.html?ref=opendemocracy.net) on our [Networking Democracy](http://ourkingdom.opendemocracy.net/2008/03/24/networking-democracy/?ref=opendemocracy.net) 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?*
