Why Using Deliberation?
The last several decades have seen growing agreement among political theorists and empirical political scientists that the legitimacy of a democracy depends in part on the quality of deliberation that informs citizens and their representatives<ref>Parkinson, J., & Mansbridge, J. (Eds.). (2012). Deliberative Systems: Deliberative Democracy at the Large Scale (p. 204). Cambridge University Press. p. 1</ref>. By improving deliberation process we improve democracy, and let more players participate in an efficient and more representing political decision making.
Deliberation is a method of thinking on problems together, and finding solutions that will be optimal for the participents participants in the process. Deliberation is a very old practice, used by groups of governing bodies, to settle contradicting needs and desires, and to achieve a peaceful way to advance togthertogether
