Explore a consistent approach to deliberative "town halls"

Participants liked the case study of the Deliberative Town Hall but they would recommend that all MSPs taking that approach should agree to consistency across all regions. They liked the example as more people directly affected by things given opportunity to get involved. They also felt that it is more democratic for MSPs to vote for something they are advocating for on behalf of their constituents rather than having to vote on party lines. But there would be challenges in terms of cost implications for such processes and the Parliament would need to be care about the type of subject chosen for that type of approach
