In the new book by Shaazke Beyerle, Curtailing Corruption: People Power for Accountability and Justice, a randomly chosen group of regular citizens — from a matrix reflecting the whole population — served as a ‘citizen jury’ that confirmed results of an investigation into political corruption.

The outcome of this ‘people power’ campaign was that almost 52% (58 out of 112) of the politicians identified as corrupt dropped out of the race. And of the remaining blacklisted candidates who did run, 68% (59 out of 86)  were defeated.
