How would our world feel if our local, regional and national politics really listened to all the people, really brought together diverse views, and knew how to listen deeply to whatever was said? How would we be if our politics brought out the best in all of us, and worked for the living planet?  We talk to Trust The People, a new movement to bring this about - globally.  Trust The People is a movement of community builders open to everyone sharing deliberative democratic tools to support local communities dealing with global crises.   In this episode, Mags Mulowska, an activist with TTP, explores how our current system is broken, and the ways we can change it so that everyone has choice and a voice, so that everyone's voice is heard and communities build around a sense of place and of purpose.   She describes the courses run by TTP and some of the ways they have led to flourishing outcomes in diverse local communities.  And we discuss the May local elections in the UK and how people can join a movement of independent candidates dedicated to bringing radical inclusivity, deep listening and trust to the local process.
