You don't like the idea of Representatives and electors chosen by lot? Personally I think it would be an improvement. We could not possibly do any worse then the people we have in Congress now, and we might certainly do better.
Plus, the idea would remove the constant posturing for election we see form our politicians. It would do away with the permanent political class we now have. Representatives who knew that they would have to go live among the people after their term in office would be much less likely to pass laws that had an adverse effect on the people. There would be no incentive to give power to Washington because the representatives would know they wouldn't be in Washington long.
The absence of elections would also mean there would be no campaigns. Thus no campaign contributions. And no shakedowns of corporations by politicians for campaign contributions. This means less corruption. Add in the fact that many, if not most of the people chisen would be good, honest citizens, we might have a government we could be proud of instead of the cess-pit we have in Washington today.
Political parties, or factions as Washington rightfully called them, would be a thing of the past. With no elections, there is no need to have a party. They wouldn't control the representatives since they wouldn't be needed to "get out the vote."
Plus, our government would be truly representative of the people -- because they would be the people.
I can see significant benefits in this plan. But I would be interested in hearing your objections.
Well, here is another equally great idea. Let's give all the land back to the Indians. Great idea; ain't going to happen. So much for hypothetical cases. I don't have enough time to waste time with hypothetical things. The real world is plenty challenging, so I live, work and think about it.
In fact the real world is a much more challenging thing, than playing with hypothetical cases. You should try it, for a change.

My objection is that it is a hypothetical exercise; wholly unrealistic. To comment further is a waste of time.
