I suspect that where the average num-num has the right to vote, the system will be doomed. The right to vote should be earned through demonstration of an ability to contribute positively to the world, and that does not mean kick, bounce, chuck or hit a bloody ball! Voters should be highly intelligent and well educated. Candidates should also have the highest standard of ethics and be bound by an overarching code that defines long term goals, rights and obligations of its citizens.
Those who have the guts to do the job, should be accountable for their performance and rewarded accordingly and not necessarily monetarily. The role should come with a right to respect and be a position of honour instead of being farmed out to some dud with a big mouth, money and vested interest behind them.
Anyone with any association with the legal profession should NEVER have any say whatsoever in decision making.
