many people contributed to #OpenPolitics Manifesto - devolution, relocating Parliaments and many other policy suggestion by people who were not traditionally political animals #citizenBeta @nwspk #TechIesForBetterWorld #SomethingNew openpolitics.org.uk
One of our favourite thing about @havesomenew is how transparent they are. You can see every monetary transaction they've made, and they even publish their own advertising data so you can see how much was spent and who was targeted. #citizenbeta @floppy
@cholten99 😭😭😭😭 one day. We're taking march out to think about the future of citizen beta and how we can grow it INCLUDING RECORDINGS.
Firm #citizenbeta favourite @floppy is bringing it home. Talking about @havesomenew

One to one coms with volunteers and moving them to action are pillars of @NationBuilder tool kit #CitizenBeta @nwspk
@FloreBlondel from @NationBuilder walks us through the different organising models: the snowflake model which maximises peer to peer connections and the leadership model which produces more leaders in a community that take on responsibility. #citizenbeta
Next up is @FloreBlondel from @NationBuilder #citizenbeta

"Signing a petition isn't always enough, we make sure at @MoreUnitedUK that we close that loop and bring it back into parliament" @TabithaMortonWE #citizenbeta
"everyone is looking for a silver bullet to fix politics.. but these problems need imagination and a different lens...it won't be fixed by the same people" @TabithaMortonWE #citizenbeta
Citizen Beta retweeted
Grass roots movement /party #Renew visited 22 #UK cities to find out what locals want from their future gov - Security came on top, nothing has changed since #Machiavelli 😱 #CitizenBeta
