@alex_p_roe@mastodon.world @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us Ah, the wonders of democracy.
Some steps that could be taken to improve democracy is to only allow votes to people who pay into the system. If you don't pay tax, you cannot vote, and you cannot become a politician.
When it comes to politicians, there can be IQ requirements, requirements for an academic degree, they must pass language tests, they must have worked in the private sector for at least 20 years, we want no life time public leeches.

@alex_p_roe@mastodon.world @ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us Then the term limit of 1 term, for life, must be imposed. We cannot have people make careers out of being politicians, this harms democracy. Oh, and the salaries have to come down. It should not be possible to become rich by being a politician, and if salaries are lowered and important class of people, who are only doing it for the money, will hopefully be blocked.
