I have been thinking about sortition for a while now.


As have I, with some level of favourability. It avoids the problems of campaign finance and low voter turnout, though not of tampering once in office. It adds the additional complication of legislators or executives who face little or no consequence for their actions. Not sure how it would work out ultimately.


If it works out properly, such legislators will be few enough that it will not be a major problem.
