<p>We can learn things from the way they elect Popes &#8211; <a href="http://www.fairvote.org/blog/2009/06/voting-method-debates-go-way-back-electing-the-pope/">and the way they used to</a>.</p>
<p>Chris Dillow reprises his <em>&#8216;extremist not a fanatic&#8217;</em> theme &#8211; that <a href="http://stumblingandmumbling.typepad.com/stumbling_and_mumbling/2009/06/rational-inattention-to-politics.html">it is rational not to care too much about politics &#8211; and that politics benefits from our indifference</a>.</p>
<p>And finally<a href="http://socialreporter.com/?p=629"> &#8216;Reboot Britain&#8217;</a> will be worth keeping an eye on &#8211; it will have a significant strand covering democratic renewal.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m hoping that it will provide another run-out for the <a href="http://www.picamp.org">PICamp</a> project that started very successfully in Belfast last month.</p>
