You don't expect a government of the people, by the people and for the people would actually keep the peoples best interests in mind do you?

I expect more instances of realpolitik versus say, the age of the Italian Borghias and/or The Holy Roman Empire.

Damn you! There you go interjecting current events into the qualinity discussion.

Palin is getting "briefed" by Kissinger, completing the circle of Borgias by belief- instead of genetics. (And allowing me to complete the circle of realpolitic and Borgia, which should give me some kind of fancy degree in politcal theory..)

Blahh blah.

this country need to be run by a new system. It's opbvious the old one doesn't serve the people's interests. 51 people should be elected, one from each state and one from D.C. THose 51 people will represent no party but the state from which they were elected. Those people have an indefinite term of office and can be removed from power only by the people from his/her state. Those 51 people are charged with our well-being. All things federally related are voted on by those 51 people and all 51 people must vote.

I'm sure there are some other details to work out, but Once I'm elected, I'll have the time to devote to them.

Peter, that is the system that we have/had, you still don't need to belong to a party, and no term limits.

What you might want to consider is either a meritocracy, or anarcho syndicalism.
