Random would actually work great if the authorities were elected for only one month or some short period.


No one should have governing power for more than a year. And no one should be allowed to make a career or governing (or more accurately, ruling) his fellow man.

The last thing we need are the "philosopher kings" proposed by Plato.

any governing body should, in my eyes, be unwilling to govern, but required by law.

combine this with one year terms and an abolishment of left/right politics and we are well on our way.
