Absolutely true, they also didn't follow the advice of it though. That's always bugged me.In fairness to citizen's assemblies - it was one of those that made repealing the 8th possible. None of the political parties had the balls to touch it
I'm not really against them as such, but what a pity our political/media system is in such a state that no one trusts anyone at any level to the point where they have to put these together to get some idea of what people might think about any issue. It was at least funny to see all the pro-life people storming out in a huff every second day.
