    This Is What Democracy Looks Like!

    We live in a liberal democracy, yet how much power do we really have to decide the direction of our country? “This Is What Democracy Looks Like!” gives you the opportunity to meet & greet your newly elected politicians at a roving roundtable discussion upon a bicycle built for seven. Hop on, decide on your direction and then travel together through the Olympic Park whilst discussing the issues that matter to you with the people in power.

On Friday 3 July 2015, a diverse group of six people took part in a simple performance at g39 in Cardiff – standing on a series of special plinths designed to raise each person up to an equal level, so that together they formed a perfect line.

Terrific book. Very readable and so interesting. All your answers to why things (often not great) happen in Glasgow.

If you care about Glasgow read this book.

Brilliant news about the Divest Dundee campaign today! 🀩 Ive been campaigning for more than five years to get my workplace - the University of Dundee - to commit to divesting its endowment from fossil fuel companies. Today they finally did it! Thanks to People & Planet and to Hannah Feuerstein and all the brilliant students who have helped pile the pressure on!
