My idea would be to draft people into elections. Instead of letting anyone
who wants to run enter the election, you'd choose people based on some sort of
objective criteria and then draft them into the election (they'd have the
option of declining). Then the candidates would all be qualified, rather than
simply ambitious and self-centered.

Well, MX, this is a most excellent idea. In my future, perfect
political party, this will be a main plank in our platform.

Take the rest of the day off...with double pay.
