Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Imagine what would happen if chuds ever got 50%+1, that's the downside of direct democracy.


But the elected officials don't know poo poo about poo poo either. They have teams and hire experts (and listen to lobbyists). Therefore I propose that instead of elections, we fill the positions randomly from the population, a-la jury duty. They serve a year, maybe part time, and can volunteer for one extension. Start by replacing the Senate with this.
