URMO KÜBAR ⟩ The Citizens' Assembly should not be anyone's political tool
Urmo Kübar emphasizes the importance of the Citizens' Assembly in finding common ground among diverse individuals rather than just serving political interests.
Urmo Kübar, one of the leaders of the Good Life Citizens' Assembly from the think tank Praxis, highlights that the true value of the assembly lies not only in the proposals directed towards politicians but also in its ability to unite individuals from various backgrounds around complex issues. This collaborative approach fosters dialogue and understanding among participants, which is essential in a politically divided environment. Kübar argues that the assembly should not be co-opted by any political group, as it needs to maintain its independence to fulfill its intended purpose effectively. This independence is key to ensuring that the voices of all citizens are heard and that the solutions proposed reflect a broad spectrum of ideas, rather than a narrow political agenda.
