OK, new idea. Scrap the whole system, move to a system of "political draftees" -- random selection of all voting-age people for one (and only one) term in office. No elections at all. No ideologues, no professional politicians, no corruption issues (no one's there long enough to get really corrupt), and NO CAMPAIGNING!
There, that's done. Now on to fixing global warming...
