I would love to try a new system of government where the people themselves never elect anyone. What I would do is have everyone who wanted to be a part of government sign up on some list. Every year, 1000 or so people are selected at random from the list to be part of a 4000 or so House where they will serve 4 year terms and be paid however much they would have made at their normal job. This house of 4000 ( or more if needed to get a full representation of America) would elect a President, who would be recallable at any time by 3/5 or 3/4 or 50+1% or something vote. All decisions would be made at a general consensus(or not, a consensus has alot of drawbacks). It would be near impossible to bribe enough people to effect the vote and there would be no campiange to worry about contributing to.
The above is just a thought and probably has a million issues wrong with it. It just seems like a good idea to me.
