I want public officials to be assigned via a compulsory lottery system. A little like jury duty.

An "average" citizen would probably do a better job serving the public than a professional politician.



A lotta positions in government aren't filled by politicans. That was a big part of W Bush's Katrina controversy. Supposedly, when his administration reorganized FEMA under the auspices of the new Homeland Security department, a lot of people who had made a career out of working in FEMA ended up by replaced by political appointees... That being part of why FEMA had no idea what they were doing when the disaster hit.
