    Good day to my fellow readers

    I've had this idea for a long time now, and decided to share my idea with the rest of you. Please give me the pros and cons of this system.
    Suppose there is a high rate of corruption in every government branch. The legislative, judicial, executive. The form of government is parliamentary. And the people are getting tired of the corruption. The people are unified. There are lots of political parties. The people aren't heavily divided as Democrats and Republics.
    Every member of the parliaments gets elected from given districts(4years) .Then the parliament and the president elect the ministers including the Prime Minister.

    What I have in mind is a new form of checks and balance system.

    Every year the people of the given district vote on their representative whether they are doing a good job or not. If the representative gets more than 55% of the vote. During this voting no speeches, campaign ads are allowed. He is forced to resign from his seat and police runs a check on his financial and political activities. During this time representatives with the second most votes becomes a member of the parliament. During the background check if there is a clear evidence of corruption, he is sent to prison (5-7years + 3 years of public service and everything accumulated by him is stripped off and given to the government. If by any reason there are no more delegates to take the seat, the district is redistricted and given to another official with highest approval ratings till the next election.


    From what I know is:
    This law is never likely to pass the parliament, but then again the parliament may face hostile public opposition.
    The public opinion is easily swayed and the public knows little.
    The Media can divert attention if the media is run by some political party.
    Other members can set him up, but ultimately the decision is on the peoples hands.


    So tell me what do you think. What will be difficulties of this system.
    The parliament closely resembles of the UK but with President having authority close to a U.S President. The President appoints the judges, it has one time power of vetoing a legislation by the parliament and the chief commander of the military force, and he cannot make executive orders. Other presidential powers are given. (Pardon, appointing ambassadors etc)
