As things are not working towards people's interests, we need to start talking about how to improve the political system. This is a start of a discussion.
The elected officials are not God to play with our lives. They are elected to serve our interests. They do not know what's good for us better than ourselves. The elected and non-elected officials can not drag us in the street, send us to camps, force or limit medical procedures on us, tell us what to think, decide for us war, peace, famines or prosperity. Enough is enough!
The easiest change and most profound is that an elected official has a contract, similar to a commercial contract, with the electorate. We need WILLPOWER and candidates to change the system for the better for everybody.
To the candidates and elected officials:
You are not our God to decide for us in all aspects of our lives.
You are our representative, you do not vote in our name until we tell you to do so for every vote. Each and every vote of yours is listed in the contract with us.
If you don't sign a public contract of ours in front of a notary public before the start of the election, you're automatically disqualified. What you'll do as elected, yours to fill-in is your plan, and the conditions are ours.
You will only do what the contract with us allows you do to. The contract with us takes precedence over anything else with the exception of the Constitution. Any breach of contract and you're automatically dismissed.
We'll vote during the election for your plan. All candidates will compete for their plans.
If elected:
If you want to do anything else than what's in the contract, you get back to us to get our approval.
Twice a year, when we tell you to debate with us, you debate, otherwise it's a breach of contract.
We decide the debates, format, conditions and follow ups. The contract could be updated at the end of the debates.
We require from you complete and total transparency before anything is approved, voted, or decided in our names.
We are in control because we know best our interests. You do not represent our interests and respect our contract you're dismissed.
Civility and honesty. When you talk as an elected official, reasons and facts are your communication standards, and not personal opinions. If you have a fact or explainable reason, you can talk.
We'll keep a system where of all inconsistencies you say or do. Example: banning travel for African countries for omicron but allowing travel from other countries with much higher omicron concentration.
This is a start of a long due discussion we all need to have about how to improve our imperfect democracy. Some honest elected officials can start behaving like they already have a representation contract today.
