Since I'm from the US, this is skewed towards American presidential politics, but here are my ideas, such as they are:
Rule #1: Any person who expresses a strong desire to become a political leader is immediately disqualified. People who desire power are the ones who abuse power. Let's start electing smart people instead of powerful people. Which brings me to:
Rule #2: All presidential candidates must have a graduate level degree from an accredited university.
Rule #3: No candidate may spend more than $10,000 on their campaign. Enough of this election buying bull****.
Rule #4: All political parties are abolished. That way voters have to pay attention to the words and actions of candidates rather than just ticking the box of the person who claims to belong to their favorite party.
Rule #5: Citizens must either vote or actively waive their right to vote. Anyone who willingly abstains from voting faces a significant tax penalty every year until the next major election.
That's all I have for now...
