Necessary electoral reforms for the USA

Name: Anonymous 2010-06-17 19:47

The U.S. needs the following electoral reforms:

Unicameral legislatures (abolish the senates) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicameralism

Party-list proportional representation for legislative elections - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_representation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party-list_proportional_representation

Instant runoff voting for executive elections (mayor, governor, president) -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting

Election of the president solely by the popular vote (abolish the Electoral College).


That is all.

Likewise we shouldn't restrict intelligent educated citizens from saying no to incompetent or amoral politicians, direct democracy is a way to do this and as a society becomes more conscious there should be a trend in this direction.

What we need is limited direct democracy which prevents abuse by ignorant trailer/ghetto trash while allowing the nation's business leaders and scientists to pitch in should they feel the need.
