That seems a lot like an expanded parlimentary system, but one question that comes to mind is centralizing leadership. Overall, the idea seems like it would allow greater latitude to the voting electorate, but do these elections take place all at once or through periods within a year? Do you think there is something innate in the way people think that would make them gravitate toward party lines? Would electing judges cause the same problems as basing the system around apointments?
I think that if I were building a society from the ground up, it would operate in two capacities, the social and the economic. Each of these capacities are interdependent. The first decision would have to be the formation of economy, and then apply a governmental structure (the social capacity) to that structure. Captialism would work with a republican democracy built around a centralized government. The government would have to balance the evils of the capitalist system with social program. This would effectively balance the whole social equation.
This would work similarly with other economic schemes. Another example would be a communist economy with a parlamentary socialist government.
Each system would require law, and ideally, that law would strike the correct balance between the power of the government, the people, and the economy. Equally rough around the edges I guess.
