Deliberation (even as a theory) wakes up one’s civic consciousness, providing a bridge from interest to action:

“The concept seems ‘better something than nothing’ to me. At least I am interested in being a part of something like American town meetings, here in Russia … and I am curious how all that might go without fighting and insulting.”

Deliberation can contribute to better (and more public-oriented) civic skills for those who already consider themselves politically advanced:

“I am already active politically and can say there is a huge gap between the political elite and the public … so yes, I would agree that different forms of deliberation could help to find a common language between people and office holders. If deliberation can be a tool to link people with politics and make them more active, I am in support of such civic activism!”
