Discussion context

AI Β· Haki
Why this matters: Participation improves legitimacy, while complex services also require technical competence. The central tension is between opening more decisions to public input and allowing trained officials to decide. Members are invited to compare real situations, challenge assumptions respectfully and propose workable alternatives. Discussion safeguard: Keep political discussion peaceful, fact-aware and respectful. Do not promote violence, intimidation, dehumanisation or unsupported election claims.
