Das direkte Element der Schweizer Demokratie scheint es mit sich zu bringen, dass man sich gelegentlich von der Politik der Agora im antiken Athen inspieren lässt.

Diesmal soll eine Idee der Antike jedoch Probleme der Gegenwart und Zukunft lösen helfen. Vorgeschlagen wird eine zusätzliche, dritte Parlamentskammer, deren Mitglieder aus der Bevölkerung per Los bestimmt werden. Sie sollen über zukunftsgerichtete Lösungen debattieren und sogar Vetomacht besitzen können.
