I've been wondering for a long time for an approach similar to the Partido Azar, or Random Party. Their proposal is that the best representation of society is not professional politicians, but a random selection of people, than has to work as politicians for a mandate and then can't be re-elected again.


The random selection process is always the tricky part of the discussion but there might be means to get it right.




This approach is typically called demarchy, a form of governance based on sortition.
