The core idea at the heart of the book is this:
We're living in a moment in time when the dominant story of society - the Consumer Story - is collapsing, and threatens to take us with it

This is what we @NewCitProj have been calling the #CitizenShift since 2015
We are not Subjects to be done to
Nor are we Consumers to be done for
We are Citizens, who get things done together

Now we've lifted those heads up to draw on our five years of working with our #CitizenShift framework

we believe this names a decision that lies with all of us
We hope it helps

He cites 3 problems w Conference at present
1) no clear aim/objective of conference
2) not clear how language barriers dealt with in live deliberation
3) not clear how broader input from digital channels will be filtered - no algorithmic way so how real w volume?

I've just published a piece called "Britain needs the Liberal Democrats, now more than ever" via @CompassOffice

My overarching take is that we @LibDems are the natural party of the "empowered citizen" (Paddy Ashdown's term)
And that in the aftermath of "take back control", this idea is crucial to saving British politics
