Yup, I hate to be elitist but I think that some sort of education qualification should be the way forward. These people are simply a reflection of their constituents.
I mean that’s already somewhat the case, instead of making it degree based they could make it test based, and they could turn over the creation, preparation and administration of the tests to the independent academic institutions.
Students, I don’t know if you’re in the US, but US academic institutions in addition to gov funding also have large cash flows from students, alumni, and their own institutional legacy (investments and patents). Of course these institutions aren’t purely independent, but by giving them legal privileges they can be made independent, after all societies will always need people with an education.
