Game Over for Trump

[Pat Mustard]

Heinlein came up with this:

add a third body to congress that can only repeal laws.  And they can repeal anything with a 1/3 vote.

And make an almost impossible situation completely unworkable?

Here's my go at solving the problem:

1) Make parliament unicameral (get rid of the very undemocratic senate)
2) Make all electoral positions, including the committee which decides district boundaries, non political offices, i.e. no elections, no party members need apply.
3) Severely limit the amount of facetime lobbying companies have access to politicians, making an absolute limit for each company.
4) Severely curtail the amount of money parties can accept in donations from individuals, disallow any donations from companies. Also have a (low) set amount of money each party can spend on electioneering, paid out of central funds.
5) Create an independent judicial appointments board, made up of academics, legal experts and ordinary people. Much more likely to have people who understand what cleaving to the law means, and a lot less likely to have another Antonin Scalia*.

I know it's a complete pipe dream what I'm looking for, but frankly the political system we have currently (and Ireland is as much a problem as the US) is unfit for purpose, government for the rich, by the rich and through the rich only guarantees misery on Earth for the masses of the people.

*I'm still mystified how he can reinterpret the second amendment which literally states that guns are only allowed for members of a state regulated militia during the time they carry out their duty as "assault weapons for everybody!!!!!"
