An open forum …is meant to make space for various viewpoints and various discussions and various debates. Open forums are not usually organised, especially by politicians, because people feel that they might get too emotional or out of control , because people don’t trust groups, [don’t trust] that groups are able to work things out with each other….we organise open forums because we trust groups….

I like Max Schupbach’s statement on Open Forums. Looking forward to on in West London for local people in the Borough of Ealing
