The Time I Decided to Quit Avoiding Political Subjects

There's a lot going on in the world right now, and while I don't want to weigh in on them directly, I would like to comment on the state of our politics as a whole.  I'd like to talk about what I think is the most important issue right now, and that is Electoral Reform.

Most modern democracies have their major processes for implementing change to be as slow, and as easy to abort as possible.  This is to prevent anything that may not be in the best interest of its citizens from being passed before every possible consideration can be made.  Frankly its a good system, as in general any change is an opportunity to subvert freedoms and people are for the most part capable of making the right decisions without government intervention.  However we are at a point and have been at this point for quite sometime where change is required, and its not happening.  Its a complex issue with many factors, but today I would like to discuss three of the main factors with how we choose are politicians I think are important, and how we need to fix them.

The first factor: campaign finance reform.  Even when we elect the politicians that want to make change, they are immediately hampered by the existing system.  Their job from the get go is no longer to make and advocate for policy, is it to get reelected.   They are forced to begin fundraising for their next election campaign as time and time again it has been show that the campaigns that raise the most are significantly more likely to win an election.  Policy decisions that become delegated to the senior members of each party that are so far entrenched in their office because they receive all the financial support they need from whatever backers want them to maintain the status quo.  Newly elected persons are simply there to be a vote for existing policies for their party and nothing else.  If they cant tow the line, they are easily replaced next election cycle.

There are many possible solutions to this but I believe one inscrutable option is to add single sequential term limits.  Once you're elected you are automatically disqualified for running for the same position in the next term.  You are however not permanently unable to run for reelection, you just would not be able to hold an office for multiple sequential terms, there would need to be another elected candidate in between your terms.

Edit:  This is another post I started 2 years ago and never finished.  I dont even remember the context so at this point its just lost to time.
