Just as the title says my plan would turn have everyone who has no criminal record and of sound mind and body over the age of 21 to be enetered into a sweepstake and names of the primister and the following cabinet post to be filled

Once your term is up your name gets removed from the sweepstakes their are no forfights

Everyone has a chance it crosses all genders,race and age groups we would have true representation
Gueius
That is all

I don't want to "serve" thanks, if I sit in the corner and eat worms would I be excluded?

I am quite happy to democratically elect my local representative. Sometimes my choice gets in , sometimes they do not. It often makes no difference at all to anything.

I wouldn’t want a softy head of the armed forces if we were in war I want a hard arse who is a winner

No! You want someone who is good at conflict resolution.

Churchill was seen as a good 'war' PM but his popularity slumped in peacetime.

Mine is better Wink

You know those "which party should you vote for" quizzes? Replace the ballot box with those.

Instead of crude FPTP, not only the parties people genuinely most aligned with would get in, the ruling party could NOT implement any policy that did not also have a 60% majority at the polls either.

OP your "badass" reply makes even less sense than your OP

you think a ballot of people who think they're up to it is better than an election?!

you say in your OP you want to be rid of career politicians

who is this "badass" and how did you find them without voting for them? Imagine the trolls in their parents' basement waiting for a moment of glory - suddenly you think they will be a "badass" because they entered a Hunger Games lottery?!

nah, after a night's sleep I've decided you are definitely joking. Grin
