NCG is deliberately simple at the centre and rich at the edges. Most day-to-day governance (85–90%) happens in the Regional Commons Assemblies. Only a thin “Meta-Commons” handles truly national matters. This design respects subsidiarity while maintaining the unity of the United Kingdom.
Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the English regions each have their own Commons Assembly. These are the primary engines of governance and handle the vast majority of policy and delivery.
A small, coordinating body that handles only matters that genuinely require national unity. Its powers are strictly enumerated and deliberately limited.
Any expansion of these powers requires unanimous consent from all Regional Commons Assemblies plus ratification by a Founding-style Meta-Jury.
The beating heart of NCG decision-making. Ordinary citizens chosen by lot serve as the primary deliberative bodies at both regional and Meta-Commons levels.
Citizens are chosen by lot, with basic eligibility checks (age, residency, no serious criminal convictions).
Jurors receive balanced briefings from experts and stakeholders before deliberating.
Ensures continuity while preventing permanent political classes from forming.
A secure, transparent national app serves as the democratic backbone of NCG.
Regular, transparent approval ratings via the national app. Below 50% triggers mandatory review, rotation, or improvement plans.
Independent juries oversee implementation of decisions and can escalate persistent failures.
All major regulations automatically expire unless renewed. Legacy Review Juries systematically remove obsolete or contradictory rules.
“Power must be exercised at the smallest effective scale. Those who decide must bear consequences. Systems should improve under stress. Minorities must retain the right to experiment.”
