@BowsacNoodle @Nazareno @dictatordave The only reforms that would make me give democracy another chance is tying voting rights to optional public service. Everyone who does it goes to boot camp, but then chooses from military, civil engineering corps, or conservation corps. Couple years physical labor essentially, provisional voting rights that become permanent afterwards. You just get to pick whether you get to (occasionally) shoot guns, build bridges, or plant trees. To stand for elected office, ten years in public service, fast-tracked for leadership training and positions. Heavily inspired by the Cursus Honorem.
I'm toying with a decade in military reserves as an alternate option, but no qualification for elected office.
