The People's Dialogue

In our political system, parties are privileged over people. We vote for parties and let them decide who runs what. This makes the politicians beholden to the political party bosses - not the people!

How do we fix our political system to put people at the center? (choose all that apply)

Change our electoral system so the people can vote directly for their President, Premiers, Mayors etc.

Publicly finance elections. Get big money out of politics so that politicians and parties don’t have to seek donors.

Create single or multiple member constituencies for MPLs and MPPs to ensure that they represent a group of people and allow the people to hold their elected officials accountable

Make public service attractive: Incentivize successful business people, academics and others to view public service as a calling and not a way to get rich.

Make voting legally compulsory, fine those that don’t vote.

Prevent any politician from being allowed to stand if ever being convicted of any crime.

Publicly display the business interests, tax returns and wealth of politicians and their families.
