I would prefer limited terms for anyone in Govt AND the complete banning of lobbyists.I quite like the idea that anyone who becomes a member of parliament's assets are seized and provided monetary valuation on all of it (all of it, from their car to their welcome mat to their pillow sheets) once becoming elected and the degree to which the government succeeds or fails in terms of growth/GDP is reflected in their assets when they leave. That way, the only way to leave government is better off than when you entered.
I don't disagree with your view. But the problem comes with something like COVID, what makes them want to protect people when it might impact the economy and make them lose their assets.
Id like to see the creation and management of infrastructure removed from the day to day operation of the Govt and, somehow seperated into a bi partisan model.You're still going to get idealists entering politics, but you're unlikely to get the kind of scheming pragmatists that infect our political landscape at present. You're also going to get leaders that want to do the right thing at all times, because if - say - a disaster that affects the government strikes they're going to want there to be low income protections and free healthcare because they personally are at risk.
No idea how it would work, but importantly i want pork barrelling removed.
On healthcare, honeslty we need a Govt to hold a plebiscite, simple question should health care be free.
I know it wins and we should raise taxes accordingly....however somehow they need to manage that risk.
