MP service - like jury service only longer.

Trouble is with a jury type system, there'd be no consistency in the ideas department, 1 person would allow something then the next wouldn't like it

What you really need is the government working for the good of the country/citizens. What we actually have is people making up policies just to get into power even if they cannot be met, are actually not good for the populace as a whole, or are downright lies.

As long as there is some pre-conditions. Don't want 650 stupid people running the country

Unlike now you mean?

That's exactly the situation we have now, zig zagging between left and right. Labour get in and spend 4.5 years of their 5 dismantling the Tories policies, then spend 6 months campaigning just for the Tories to get in and spend 4.5 years putting it all back to where it was 5 years ago, and onwards we go.

Well it takes a lot longer than a year to get anything done.

A year is ample time for anyone appointed under this system to fulfil their manifesto promises.

I think this will be most keenly felt in the area of the provision of long term care for the elderly where a measure of cross party cooperation would be useful.

I thought the Dilnot proposals were sensible, and ones which all parties could unite behind.

I have been touting this idea for a few years now. Put a few hundred thousand people in to the hat, who meet certain criteria and pull some out. Give them a year of training and let them get on with it. Rotate the crop and devolve as much as possible.

We currently have in the main, a bunch of self-serving millionaires, mostly from the legal profession, following an age-old tradition that needs putting out of its misery.

It's called Lottocracy if memory serves.
