Quote from dandxg:

I feel that a parliamentary would do just such a thing. You vote for a party and then that party gets a % of power based on popular vote. In practice it seems to work well in educated societies like Canada and Europe as a whole. They have 5-6 parties to chose from not just 2, that's my main problem with the status quo.

Why do we have an electoral college? It's totally unnecessary.

I would really like to see mandatory voting for a citizens. If you don't vote you lose your driving privileges or receive a fine. I don't care who you vote for, just get of your tv watching ass and vote.

Political contributions and special interest lobbying needs to be severally limited too. This is how our country has become corrupt at a political level.

The problem with counting 3rd ,4th and 5th partys, is that a fringe party with 5% of the vote can hold extraordinary power in a divided elector. Lets say that might be the communist or the KKK party. They deserve no extra influence. No one should have to win their support to form a majority.

Voting by idiots is no answer. Citizens should have to pass the same test immigrants take to become citizens in order to vote.

The problem is not the lobbyist it is the politician who can't stay independent. If anything we need more counterbalance in lobbyist,
There are two sides to all decisions. The problem is that industry lobbyist have more money to educate the voters and the politicians. We need to subsidize smaller lobbies so they can promote their ideas.
