In a post-Brexit world with populists on the rise, trust in government and politicians is in short supply. People claim to be tired of 'experts' and the divide between facts and opinion has been blurred.

This study of almost 50 long-form deliberative processes in Canada and Australia makes the case that adding informed citizen voices to public decision-making leads to more effective policies.
