    I’m actually unironically in favour of some sort of Sortition for political positions, or at the very least a proportion of them. Random people would take it more seriously and listen to experts to do the maybe less popular but correct things when not seeking power or re-election.

      Same, with the obvious caveat that some vetting would be necessary so we don’t just hand the keys of the country to some Nazi (not that we aren’t electing those anyway, but still…)
