I have an idea about an alternative to the worlds corrupt goverments. The trouble with politicans of all parties is that power goes to their head so we should get rid of overpayed, incompetent,corrupt and evil politicans by forming a party which is not a party I will explain. At a general election we have our newly formed party which is very clear from the start that it is not about personalities or money it is going to be run along the same lines as jury service where for example mrs Jones is one day doing the house work and the next she is called up on what I will call for now the new national service she might find herself in charge of the ministry of defence or the NHS where she follows the wishes of the electrote who will have to vote by law she does her new national service for a day/week in which she does'nt get her ego artifically enlarged by the press and she does'nt get paid she then goes back to her everyday life and its then the turn of someone else. The main purpose of this idea is to avoid the common downfall of mankind to follow leaders no matter how inspiring or pure they are, they are still susceptable to corruption or assination and that has set democracy back many a time because people get scared and lost when they have relied on an inspirational leader who is no longer there for them. I would be interested in everyones opinions on my idea look forward to hearing from you.

First of all, your grammatical errors make it hard to discern your exact idea.

Secondly, a problem with this is the fact that not every -- and indeed, very few -- member of a political party is intelligent or committed enough to make decisions that are vital to the society. Also, the transfer of power and information would cause the system to repeatedly snag. Furthermore, easily corruptible citizens and/or easily intimidated citizens that gain power would be a walk in the park for opponents. Sorry, it's innovative, but I think it's overall a bad idea.

Plus, I wouldn't want Mrs. Jones running the Ministry of Defence or any other Ministry. I like to leave the hard work to the experts.

I like to leave the hard work to the experts.

Which is why we elect officials into offices that require them to be experts despite the fact that they have very little grounding in any specialised area, and why Cabinet reshuffles move those who might have actually developed an undestanding for their job in the first place :lol:
