This morning I will be attending the Housing Perspectives forum put on for the Citizens’ Assembly. It is a thoroughly unrepresentative panel but this is one of the few opportunities we get to see the Assembly at work, and so it is worth attending.
This afternoon, along with a colleague, I will be presenting OCOP’s position on the Plan process to groups of Assembly members, four at a time, who will be speed-dating their way around a dozen groups at 12 minutes per group. The whole thing is another failure in a deeply flawed process, but at least we get this brief chance to say that out loud.
