Adam Smith warned us about the danger of factions; Pointing out that once a party was organised, it could only be effectively opposed by another..
The American constitution, tried to establish citicen legistrators and failed.
We are plaque by professional politicians, who, while well intentioned, do more harm than good.
Why not have a constituancy jury, whose duty would be to select a panel of candidates, from which we could chose our MP.
Each constituancy would have two MP's (one man, one woman) One voter, two votes.
Obviously we would need to adjust the size and number of constituancies.
Plus the length of service expected from our MP's, no more than two consecutive terms, perhaps?
We all need to be fully involved in our society. This is my proposal
