I"m in the US, I have so many thoughts on how to change our government systems. One way I thought of that could never actually be implemented would be a senate (or house) or whatever that was made up of random people chosen similar to how a jury pool is chosen. But they'd have to serve a year or two at a time, and that would be horrible disruptive and expensive (I imagine). But to actually have actual representation in the government is such a novel idea. Here, it seems like the only people willing to serve are the people I don't want representing me. ("Any club that would have me as a member I wouldn't want to join" kind of feeling. lol) My husband says it all comes down to how the media changes people's views. I dunno what it is, I just know that I don't feel represented in any way by any level of leadership.
25. If you were given the ability to reform how your country’s leaders were chosen and how they serve, what would you change?
My husband was suggesting yesterday that all old-Etonians should be banned from public office as, almost by definition, they know nothing about real life.

Yes I will admit when I see that "final" vote in USA I do wonder how isolated people feel to their actual state, or politics.

Oh true - the trouble is that sadly even local politicians seem to live in their (smaller) ivory towers!
