Perhaps to would be better to split governments up into areas of expertise. Foreign and Diplomatic. Health and social services. Transport. Justice and policing. Each has it's own remit and representatives from each region. They meet in a forum to discuss overall issues. Representatives are specialised in their field. Combine with continuous voting whereby you could withdraw your support for a representative and tag your decision with an issue. Something like that...


Oh. That wasn't popular, why? My thinking was that, say, a successful headteacher could stand for a place on a national committee which decides education policy. Which would lead to an elected committee of experts deciding education policy. Rather than the current situation in the UK where we have Micheal Gove deciding policy based on whatever dogma he thinks will get him respect from the right wing of the tory party so he can get a promotion.
