The only way to do that is to have the general populace get more involved in the political process...make it a true democracy, like back in Ancient Athens. Not this sham they call "democracy", which it most certainly isn't. The politicians need to be fully accountable to the people and the political party system abolished. We could go on about this till the cows come home, but this isn't the thread to really be discussing it, except as a short sideline. Suffice to say I think we'd ll have very strong opinions and ideas about this
