The Most Ambitious Proposals Seek to Complement or Even Partially Replace Legislative Assemblies of Elected Representatives With Assemblies of Randomly Selected Citizens. Since the Goal of Lotocrats is to Increase the Participation of Ordinary Citizens in Political Decisionmaking Precisely Because the Groups of Citizens Who Participate in the Random and Stratified Selections Are So Similar to the Citizens They Reflect They Harbor the Possibility of Becoming the Definitive Usurpers. In What Follows I Explore This Concern Through a Close Analysis of the Specific.
Features of the Notion of That Underlies Lotocratic Conceptions of Democracy and Its Potential Negative Consequences. Although the Notion of Citizenrepresentative is Essential in This Model It Has Not Yet Been Explored in Depth.. For Example It Germany Mobile Number List is Not Clear How a Citizen Can Simultaneously Play the Role of Citizen and Representative With Respect to the Same Political Decision. It is Also Not Clear What Obligations Citizenrepresentatives Have Towards the Rest of the Citizens Who Do Not Participate in the Decisionmaking Process.
Can Citizenrepresentatives Be Part of Both the Constituent Power and the Constituted Power Can They Be Meaningfully Accountable to Nonparticipants While Still Exercising Their Right as Citizens to Make Their Own Decisions Freely My Analysis is Not Intended to Answer These Intricate Questions. I Mention Them Only to Indicate How in the Absence of Such Responses We Cannot Evaluate the Democratic Legitimacy of Lottocratic Proposals. The Aim of This Article is to Challenge the Assumption That the Notion of Representation as the Incarnation of the People Can Be Fruitfully Applied to Lotocratic Institutions Thereby Highlighting Some of the Worrying Consequences of the Lotocratic Model.
