What do you think should be done to make communication between politicians and constituents more personal or to ensure greater continuity of vision in government planning? One Samara follower attributes some of the political disengagement in her community to these problems.

One of the findings from The Real Outsiders is that politically disengaged Canadians are not as ignorant of politics as conventional wisdom holds. Here is some of the reaction we received from a roundtable held on December 2, 2011.

In The Real Outsiders, a clear distinction was made between what people thought about “politics” and what people perceived as “democratic”. Here is some of the feedback given at our roundtable, held on December 2, 2011.

Our research is driven by a desire to engage the entire Canadian public in a conversation about their democracy. This conversation has begun with The Real Outsiders, in which we spoke to people that governments and political parties rarely speak to: politically disengaged Canadians.

On December 2, 2011, we presented the findings from The Real Outsiders to members of community organizations, media, and other groups. We asked them to choose words they associated with "politics". This is what they chose.

We want to make sure that our research is relevant to a broad spectrum of the Canadian public. So we want to hear from you about what you think of our reports, and ways in which we can extend the conversation to more Canadians. Let us know by posting a comment here, or by following the links to our Twitter and Facebook pages at the top of the page.
