making democracy work again

i can't tell the more technological ones but here are some involving voting and governance:

* rework democracy to have professional polling parties. holland has banks, another place should specialize in facilitating fair elections.

* rework democratic ballots so the governance is entirely bottom up. (get supporting math structure later called "fail conditions")

* facilitate easier ballot addendum to not require schmucks to get signatures via kick-starter style site allowing both donations and signatures for a cause. with a public running balance for nonprofit community improvement projects as well as the classic forecasted fundraising goal.

* international mandate for elections/voting weekly/monthly within countries claiming to be democratic to the UN. if nothing else is up to question, it is a satisfaction survey.

* greater government promotion of companies and allowance for government to compete with private industry when private industry is being ineffective. basically, large cities should have parking lots (perhaps requiring fees).

* separate ballots/articles for people running for office from the main issues and concerns of the people.  for example, every politician wants to fix the economy. you vote first on priorities and then later on vote on who you think can do it.

* multi layer disclosed governance goals by the lower leadership, or chosen by voters, with deadlines and the numbers used in finding the expenses. do we as a people want to go into space? fine. do we want to automate agriculture? fine. want to get renewable energy? fine... whatever the government wants to do the question remains- what can i mathematically grade 'your' performance on? if you have control, when will your proposal be done, how much risk is there it will go above cost? what is the break down of the cost structure by component? also in the grading of performance, part of the election should be choosing 'fail' criteria under which the elected person is ousted rendering impeachment quaint.

* add to ballots fail criteria based on campaign promises. it will replace and automate the impeachment process. allow additional fail criteria to be added to the ballot. in effect add short term measures/proposals which are only used for one electoral term.



* in the project proposal economic concerns should be taken into consideration including things like whether the government will pay continually or cash on delivery with adjustment for interest due to loans taken out, also where the money comes from.

* multiple pages on the individuals running including private investigator reports, and related work experience accounts by those who worked with him/her. bluntly a politician should be able to politick without being in office.



in essence, i want allot more control of what the government does, how it does it, how much it costs and greater precision in how much budget the reward is worth. put another way rather than voting for high speed rail: yea, nay. it would be better to vote "___ is the max worth of the project ($0 being in effect 'hard' nay, and price lower than projected expense being 'soft' nay). the money for the project comes from [list]. if proposal estimate isn't within ___% of the proposed price or ___% of max worth, there is breach of contract. making the rest of cost come from ____ .
