Request: What issue would you like to hold a public discussion about?

I’m doing some work with an organisation called the Democratic
Society, which exists to support participation and democracy. We have
been given a little funding by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, and are
going to use some of this money to stage a public discussion event in
Brighton and Hove in late spring/early summer.
I’d be really interested to hear from people on this list what sorts
of issues they would like to see discussed at such a meeting, and what
sort of format would appeal: a staged debate, a single speaker
followed by discussion, or something entirely different.
There are only a couple of rules. The Society is non-partisan so we
can’t stage debates or events that obviously promote a particular
political party. If we had Caroline Lucas, for instance, we’d need to
have balancing speakers. Second, we don’t have an enormous amount of
funding and we’d like to use it wisely so there’s enough for more
events later in the year.
Feel free to drop me a line off-list if you don't want to clutter up
the discussions here. You can check out the Democratic Society on our
website (http://www.demsoc.org).
