A system where people in power are not allowed to profit from their positions, and have to give away their rights to the population and live in political monasteries for the rest of their lives. Basically, a system where people with political power are slaves to the population.
Power only being obtainable with proof of total selflessness, and even then only being usable to maintain the population's freedom and fight off entities that would take it away. It may sound extreme, but so far, compromises haven't worked, they create too many openings. This is just a basic idea, of course, not a complete system.
I think the choice may be between the population having freedom OR the people in power having freedom, but it can never be both. They say that with power comes responsibility, but right now, the population has all the responsibility and none of the power, while they have all the power and none of the responsibility. Total imbalance.
No other system even attempts to address this, it's always "just trust the people in power to be good even though they never are because those positions of power appeal to greedy psychopaths". Invert it. Make those positions as unappealing as possible.
