i guess it's about time, all state level elected bodies, should dedicate 5-10% seats ... at least ... on an extremely specialised profession basis, such as software, medical etc ... look most of these guys are lawyers by profession that's massively over represented in all houses everywhere .... why just we can't ....

This is a flawed view based on the premise that elected officials would somehow be incapable of grasping the concept of "having special advisers". You might be interested to know that Hong Kong has a system similar to what you're describing. It's not working out to well (hint: one's expertise is useful only in narrow cases, while corporatist self-interest applies all the time).
