I like the ideas of the pirates however in the form they are implementing them they are too easily corrupted.

However I don't see why the idea of a continuium isn't easily incorporated into our current traditional system.

It could easily be introduced.

Parties stand on a platform which defines them and limits them in the exercise of power for 3 years. If they move from that mandate or circumstances arise which are not covered by their mandate then the introduction of a defined and limited electronic 'polling', for want of a better word, could either mandate the governing party's policy or cause a new election.

It would certainly create honesty at elections and certainty in government.

I like tradition but also embrace change ... as long as it is gradual and acknowledges the lessons of history.
