I can recall the final point I want to make about participative democracy and broadcasting. If the platform had been available six, seven or eight years ago those who forewarned the economic crash probably would have been listened to an awful lot more. Those voices did exist but they were smothered by numbers, the media and broadcasting. That will be the value of audience discussions and hearing different views.
