what the hell convinces you that this would be a good idea?
It is impartial. It is a fair represenative of the populations, biased towards skill and knowledge; a minority of the population would have the majority of influence over issues if their skills and knowledge were relevant to those issues.

In contrast; our current system is biased towards power and money. A minority of the population has the majority of influences over issues that benefit them - AKA "lobbying", or just plain bribery and corruption.

o you really think all 'experts' can be trusted, and that all 'auditors' can be trusted to flag this up?Yes. I believe that the majority of the population can be trusted for the majority of the time. For the smallest boards, a minimum of eight people would need to be corrupt to change a vote. For the largest boards, a minimum of 26 people would need to be corrupt to change a vote. Since those people are all picked at random, the chances of that occuring is very slight

Tell that to anyone working in Central Government. Politicians routinely create short-term popular policies that have serious long term rammifications. All the civil servants can do is mop up afterwards, time and time again. The twisted thing is that every new politician gets to gain popularity by fixing the mistakes that the last politician made.

It's a joke!
