Ok, my vote goes to you for next Canadian PM.
Wait till you hear what I have planned.
no more lobbying - fucken jail.
no pay for politicians - you get a living allowance, a vehicle w/driver, and you live in "Government city" while you're in office. A nice life, but not so comfortable that you want to settle.
with all but a few exceptions, service terms are 4 years long.
after your service, you're accorded a rating, determined by the effectiveness of the changes you've made (or honestly tried to) , if you did good by the people, we rate you highly. A rating determines your pay scale in the private sector after you leave government. Did good? Live good. Determination of rating is part of the next-election-cycle vote, ie: decided by the people.
no one top officer. Ie no pm or president. At least, not bestowed to a single individual. Maybe 3β¦
There was more. I came up with this on a road trip between Calgary and Vancouver once but I had a lot more youthful idealism back then, couched in the idea that being a public servant might be an appealing role for more volunteer-centric people instead of ...craven... power-hungry jackals. Maybe we need benevolent superintelligence to take over and actually run things, then we can have something like my system and pretend we're actually running the show.
Rather like we do now....
Sounds great! Just one more thing... can I have a firepit in my backyard???
You can have THREE!!
Oh my gosh, I would LOVE three! They won't even let me have ONE!
Great plan, by the way! I knew you were the one for the job when you said NO to Trump! 'Bout time someone did!
