Alastair Campbell argues that citizens' assemblies can encourage people to engage in debates and disagree agreeably when properly conducted.

“I think that it can lead to people really engaging in the debate really understanding the importance of expertise um and dare I say Rory getting people to sit around the table and disagree agreeably before then finding that there's more that they agree on than they disagree on”

Rory Stewart believes that citizens' assemblies are a valuable method for reviving democracy and making progress on polarized political issues.

“I think citizens assemblies are actually a fantastic thing not just in Britain but actually in the US and elsewhere to revive democracy”
