    Yet another thing that needs overhauling. I think the solution is simple: while you are in office, you cannot run for a position. Once you have completed a full term, you are barred from running any position for one year. Once that year is up, you may run. This helps weakens incumbency advantage, alongside forcing politicians to do their job instead of splitting their focus.

    Sure, it might not be efficient…but as modern capitalism and politics have demonstrated, “efficiency” is a fig leaf to cover corruption. The more important thing is to make it harder for greedy fools to run things.
