In today鈥檚 episode, ad guru and expert on human behaviour Rory Sutherland explores how a 鈥淗ouse Of The People鈥�, comprised of a random cross-section of the British public 鈥� might be better at truly reflecting the considered will of the British people. Rory is joined by the Australian political economist and expert on innovation Nicholas Gruen, - who explains how the idea dates back to the Ancient Greeks 鈥� and the MP for Birmingham Yardley, Jess Philips, an elected parliamentarian who鈥檚 keener on the idea than you might expect鈥� Produced by Steven Rajam for 麻豆社 Wales
