The People's Parliament
The People's Parliament was a Channel 4 programme in which 90-100 randomly selected citizens, sitting in a mockup of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, debated and voted on controversial issues.〔Back to the polis: direct democracy. ''The Economist'', 17 September 1994.〕〔Taylor, I. (1994). (Of the people, by the people, for the people ). ''The Independent'', Thursday 29 July〕〔(BFI | Film & TV Database | The PEOPLE'S PARLIAMENT )〕 Each programme started with a motion that was then debated by a proposer and witnesses for each side, setting out the facts behind the issues and the arguments for and against the motion. Its parliamentary procedures were under the control of Lesley Riddoch who acted as its "Speaker".〔Riddoch, L. (1994). An uplifting experience. ''The Herald'' (Glasgow), 30 August 1994.〕 The participants hearing debate and voted on motions were called "Members of the People's Parliament" (MPPs) and selected to be representative of society. They made their own speeches, examined expert witnesses, and set up their own "Select Committees".
It was first broadcast at 7pm on 30 July 1994 with a programme that deliberated the motion that 'Persistent young offenders between the ages of 12 and 14 should be locked up.' 〔SHOULD YOUNG OFFENDERS BE LOCKED UP? ''The Observer'', page 22, 24 July 1994〕 The programme has been described as "an attempt to 're-empower' the disenfranchised electorate and explore the way in which a representative sample of people would respond to extended deliberation of difficult issues."〔

Each episode started with a motion and an initial vote was taken (for, against and abstentions). Then speeches for, and against were made. There was also some initial debate by the MPPs. Then the MPPs were next presented with the recorded deliberations of a 'Select Committee' that presented evidence on the complexities of the issue from experts. After this, in the chamber of the People's Parliament, MPPs make responses to what they have heard. Finally, there is another vote that lets the viewer see how the arguments changed the views of the MPPs who also were about to comment about how they influenced them.〔
The People's Parliament was shot in the House of Commons set at Granada studios in Manchester. The MPPs were selected from around Manchester and the North of England. It copied many of the aspects of Westminster in terms of the names given to the host "Madam Speaker" and participants, "MPPs". There was a set of ''Erskine May: Parliamentary Practice'' and a tinsel Ceremonial Mace. The MPPs were not paid for appearing through they received £20 to cover "transport costs". A late-night follow up phone-in programme was also sometimes transmitted. There were a pilot and five series.〔〔
