Subject: Re: [WDDM] Progress to participatory democracy in France?

There is a "Breaking News" article on this subject from our Quebecois correspondent in Paris online now...with photos....at
www.auburn.edu/jpd. It's up to date...and the primary is on Thursday.

Take a read. It's a good story.

I heard here in Canada interesting report about Ségolène Royal
the top candidate to the French Socialist Party nomination for the French
presidential election in 2007.
It was claimed that she supports participatory democracy and wants to use
Citizen Juries if elected French president.

I actually found a similar online news item:
http://english.ohmynews.com/articleview/article_view.asp?no=287195&rel_no=1

Here site "Desires for the future" apparently practising participatory
democracy (citizens debates on various subjects) can be found here:
http://www.desirsdavenir.org

How serious progress toward DD is this?
Can any observers closer to France report something on it?
