What we need is a lot more politician that all get no staff. If we made electorates smaller then more people would win on their own merits rather than by being beholden to a party. If we cut out the staff we could have much smaller electorates at no extra cost.
One thing we do need is to encourage the best people to run. At the moment anyone with half a brain avoids running given the abuse you receive. All we get a narcistic blowhards because why would anyone with feelings want to subject themselves and their families to what our politicians receive.
