If You Ran Your Country...

No one said how realistic it has to be, so. XD But this stuff really shouldn't be too difficult.

I'd make it so the people in charge actually had to be qualified. So all of the ministers in charge of different areas better be some of the top people in their fields, not just lifelong politicians who therefore have no actual experience. For example, the Minister for Science better be one of the top scientists in the country with amazing qualifications and experience who understands the issues! The Minister for Women should be a WOMAN who has done research in the field, and not a misogynistic idiot like out last primer minister, and the minister for the environment better be someone who actually believes in climate change and actually wants to put the environment first. Just slotting politicians into those slots is so stupid in my opinion. There's no way they can understand the issues as well as an expert in the field would. And that expert would have less chance of stupid allegiances or dodgy deals getting in the way of doing the right thing because they would have already dedicated a large part of their lives to that field. Their job wouldn't be telling people what they wanna hear and lying and chasing money. ~_~ I don't really agree with having career politicians because of that. Unless someone has experience in the field, why should I trust them with giving that field a voice? I just went through and clicked on all of Australia's current minsiters. They've pretty much all done bachelor degrees in either arts, business or law. So why are we trusting them to understand science, health, education, indigenous affair, environmental issues? Makes no sense. I think people who are experts with real life experience in a field should be the ones leading us. Sadly the people with power are almost always the ones who should not have power.

The other thing I'd change is making it so EVERY vote was done based on conscience and not just along party lines. It's really dumb that people get elected to represent a group of people and then they can't even vote how they want to if their party says otherwise. And if they do, they lose their jobs! So ridiculous!
