Jury Democracy:
Returning Power to the People
For Beyond 50's "Political" talks, listen to an interview with Dr. Hugh McTavish. He is running for Governor of Minnesota with the Independence-Alliance Party, the successor to the Independence Party that elected Jesse Ventura. McTavish believes that the primary goal of government is promoting happiness. His platform also includes his innovative proposal called "Jury Democracy" that involves having large, statistically valid juries of 500 - 2,000 randomly selected voters come to the Capitol, hear argument for and against a particular bill or proposal, deliberate on it, and then vote on that one bill or proposal. It would impact public debate and transform political power and how government makes decisions.
