(28,486 posts)if they made it so to get elected beyond the limit you need 70% or greater of the vote, not 51%, not 60% but 70% or more.
That should encourage the ones in office to actually try to do as good a job as possible for the majority of people in their districts rather than only those of their own party.
Granted to achieve that we would also need some other reform first such as making a 3rd party say under the DOJ setups the voting districts so as to stop the gerrymandering by both parties but if that was done it might help resolve some of the problems in our government.
The other change that should happen is to the retirement benefits to elected officials, they should be eliminated as someone who seeks an elected office is supposed to be helping the people not helping themselves to the peoples money.
