We’ve had and continue to endure low quality politicians.
I rather like the politics practiced in ancient Athens whereby the voters (women and slaves excluded) could vote to exile any politician for 10 years….Ostracism.
Now, who would be first to go?

We are in a "none of the above|" camp.
Nobody believes a word any politician says. The lens is what they do.
Conservatives lied through 14 years of infighting and paid the price at the ballot box. They still haven't smelt the roses. That allowed Starmer who proved to be a bigger liar than Billy Liar Boris.And with an entourage equally corrupt as the Conservatives. Then they wonder why support fell away. Labout learned nothing from the previous 14 years, or indeed, from the Blair/Brown fiasco years.
Reform is the least worse untested bunch, and I do worry about their lack of intellect and experience, and tact, but then I see Rayner............
The EU bunch are just the same, but most are unelected. It makes me wonder if demorcracy really works at all.
Political parties should be kept to manifesto promises, which if not delivered, should shorten their five years in power. Labour have sat on their arses for a year, so should be put to the vote now. All that will happen as we are now, is that Starmer will destroy the Labour movement and guarantee Farage the next election. But he can't see it.
Changing the PM won't make a shred of difference. The ship is holed.and going down.
Should this be moved to the Soap Box?

We could just replace them with an APP on the smart thingy. Make each vote a direct vote.
Have a monthly program where full time .gov people explain the challenge and each party gets to give their cause-effect-action statement which you can then vote on.
Make it a game show like thing on TV publicly, who knows people may prefer it. They seem to watch all manner of other rubbish.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I prefer the game show type of theme, the equivalent of the Muppet Show, each party would do a sketch on a particular policy issue and the public would vote accordingly. The Upper House could be represented in turn by Statler and Waldorf giving incisive appreciation from their balcony. No matter what policy position 'Animal' took would get my vote.

That seems good John. Shall we put it to a vote? Oh no that would be democratic, apparently going out of style these days.
Only issue might be the sketch thingy, the Trumpstein Files may make people a little adverse to performing sketching right now?
