The greatest danger to any governance system is the gradual insulation of decision-makers from the consequences of their choices. NCG tackles this head-on through multiple overlapping mechanisms designed to ensure that power remains temporary, visible, and personally felt.
Every official, juror, and department faces regular, transparent approval ratings through the National Platform. Approval below 50% triggers mandatory review, rotation, or an improvement plan.
Independent sortition juries oversee the implementation of decisions and have the power to escalate persistent failures to higher review.
Most positions (including jurors) serve limited terms with overlapping continuity to prevent the formation of permanent political classes.
Dedicated juries systematically prune obsolete or contradictory regulations using Chesterton’s Fence and strict “one in, two out” rules.
“Those who decide must bear consequences. Power must be temporarily held, not permanently captured.”
These mechanisms are not punishments. They are structural hygiene — designed to keep the system honest and antifragile by ensuring that decision-makers feel the real weight of their choices.
