Who wants to be?

Published:

Jon Bright (London, OK): Interesting idea this that dropped into my mailbox. Who wants to be? is a 'democratic gameshow' where 100 audience members put £10 each into a collective pot, then vote on how to spend the money. As they are able to suggest initiatives and then vote on them themselves, they have complete power to develop the rules of their own game. It's run by The People Speak, a group with lots of interesting ideas about how to bring people together for discussions. Are there any lessons here for the currently running citizens juries? The next show is on the 9th at the Albany in Deptford - if you're going we'd be interested to hear about the experience!
