Most politicians don’t actually represent you, so why do we keep electing them? Imagine a House of Citizens chosen by lottery just like a jury. From Texas to Ireland, regular people are already making big decisions. Are you ready to fire the professional campaigners?

It’s commonsense: the rules of the political game need to be kept out of politicians’ hands. But where most democracies did that, the United States did not and is now backsliding on gerrymandering, voter suppression and partisan courts.

Most workplaces are full of people "kissing up and kicking down," but Wikipedia found a different way. You start as a stranger and have to prove your reliability to a panel of real humans. Is this the blueprint for a better way to work together?

Watch how a simple lottery system could replace endless debates and finally put everyday people back in the driving seat: what if the best leaders are the ones who never ran for office?

The tech utopia of the 2010s ignored one crucial rule: the Neutral Point of View. A hive mind thrives on objective facts. But what happens when you introduce subjective political opinions? This is why the hope of a wiki government didn't get further than books.

How to win an election - The ugly truth You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig. Stop falling for the slogans and the media portrayals. Watch how the winning strategy actually forces leaders to ignore "we the people" just to keep their funders happy.

Ever wondered why politicians seem so fake? It’s because the system actually filters out honest people like Mal who can’t stomach the nonsense, leaving us with the narcissists who thrive on rage. If you hate the self-promotion, you’re exactly the kind of person we’re losing.

Our representatives have become celebrity politicians who push their way to the top. What if we went back to the Athenian way and chose leaders by lottery instead? It’s the same logic we trust for our juries in courts, and it might just save our politics.

Politics is broken, but we already found a cure: there is a way to bypass endless ideological debates and focus on serving the public interest. The answer lies in a house with no formal power but a massive influence.

Think the courtroom is about finding the truth? It’s actually a strategic game where the side with the most money buys the most convincing PhD. You deserve to know how adversarial justice is making fairness a luxury most people can’t afford.

RUTTE: Europe with UK, Turkey, Norway has over 500 million people. We're facing adversary in Russia with about 140 million people. And we're dependent on one ally with about 350 million people to ensure we can defend ourselves against Russia. That's not sustainable in long term.

No one needs another Vaush. Cenk and Hasan are wrong. I like Hasan Piker as a podcaster. I do. I post him. You know. But I don’t agree on his praxis and voting for Democrats. I just don’t and I’m not going to. There’s a reason for this…and it’s because I’ve worked for 43 years.

It’s time to talk about Brexit… Leaving the EU has harmed our economy significantly. By putting Britain back at the heart of Europe, Labour is tackling the cost of living crisis.

Why promise something you can’t deliver? Reform UK promised to cut your council tax then denied ever saying it. Nigel Farage promised £350 million for the NHS then backtracked just hours after the Brexit vote. Which promises are real and which are just words? #r4today #BBCBreakfast
