I always like the idea of a national lottery, where every year x number of lucky/unlucky members of the public get to be in parliament.

"JOHN SMITH from Brighton, congratulations you are the foreign Secretary this year."

If nothing else it would be worth a good laugh and would be a gently caress load better than the system we have now.

This but with an AI assisting them in the serious nuts and bolts of policy and with the power to quietly override the lottery winners and everyone is none the wiser because they just defer to the natural flow of automation and institutional inertia.
