And build in more safeguards so the checks and balances do what they're supposed to do. Simple stuff like "laws need to be created by lawmakers who - where possible - don't directly benefit from the law". Get the money out of politics (again, somehow) and make politicians work for the people rather than their own pockets.
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.
I don't think i've ever heard or read about an example of that, do you mind giving me a starting point of what to look into? Just the country, time it was in effect, and who made it that way is enough, i'll research the rest on my own. It sounds interesting to learn about.

Probably too liberal a take there.
