(4,847 posts)who use a lottery to pick their council. I thought that would be something, that the house of representatives would be by lottery. Government classes would be a requirement for all students-maybe three, four classes. Everyone would have to do their civic duty, doesn't matter what field you're in-of course, there would be some reasons for exclusion, like being so ill you can't serve. Then, the representatives would chose the senators. And senators could be known economists, engineers, and others that could really help the country. The position of president would be by the vote of the people.
Anyway, I thought it was unique that there is a town who uses the lottery system, and it seems to work for them. Everyone must be involved citizens.
