Iain Walker is the Executive Director of The newDemocracy Foundation, an independent non-partisan research institute exploring how to do democracy better.
nDF sees the democratic innovation problem to be solved in terms of the constraints on elected representatives as a result of the pressures of uninformed public opinion, with the solutions lying in public judgment mechanisms akin to the criminal jury. They design and operate real-world demonstration projects for elected representatives at all tiers of government, and their advisory work includes a range of governments internationally and projects for the UN Democracy Fund and OECD.
