How to fix democracy
The debating platform that brings people together.
Politics in the age of social media can often be angry and divisive. And many people feel their voices aren鈥檛 being heard by those in power. But Polis is an online platform that鈥檚 trying to make democracy work better. It helps people to reach a consensus even on very polarising issues. We visit Taiwan where it鈥檚 been used to draft more than 20 laws and regulations. And in the UK, we see how Polis is helping to sort out difficult local issues.
