Season 3, Episode 9: Sung Jun Han - On Lottocracy (Part 1)
from The True Representation Movement Podcast · host The True Rep Movement
In this episode of the TR Podcast, we speak with Sung Jun Han, a promising political philosophy doctoral candidate, about the future of democratic governance. The conversation dives into Han’s research on "Lottocracy" — a radical yet historically grounded alternative to electoral representation that proposes selecting legislators by lottery rather than through elections. Han explores the philosophical underpinnings of the model, its potential to address elite capture and systemic bias, and introduces his unique "Madisonian framing," which tempers legislative power by emphasizing citizen filtering and referendum. Together, they unpack what meaningful democratic reform might look like in a time of deep political dysfunction.More about our guest at: https://sungjunhan.com/
