Quote: billwill @ 2nd November 2023, 8:53 PMWhen neither main party look as if they could produce a viable government, perhaps its time to drastically change parliament.
I suggest:
1. do away with the party structure, every MP should stand as an independent.
2. let the whole of parliament select the Prime Minister.
3. every appointment of a minister should be ratified by the whole of parliament.
4. there should be a (too be decided) number of constituencies in which the MP is selected by a random choice and that person has to drop whatever they are doing and serve 4 years as an MP.
5. All MPs must sell all their shares when becoming an MP and shall have no financial connections with any business anywhere.That'l do for starters, any other suggestions?
I think you're describing Sortition, which is essentially just government by lottery. Not sure any country has ever done it, although the ancient Greeks went on about it.

We're truly blessed to have you as one of our members, Billy, showing us all the error of our ways. And the fact you're so humble about it, and not in any way pompous and full of yourself, makes you all the more special.
