A start would be ditching FPTP elections.

People vote with their emotions, regardless of education. But I will concede education helps. However, look at all the educated but gullible fools who still think the Democrat Party is "for the people" compared to the Republican Party. Both parties are for the Ruling Elite. Its just different Rhetoric but same actions and outcomes.

IMO you do root cause analysis on pretty much any major problem the UK is facing and there, right at the bottom, is FPTP.

I am thinking about alternative form of government too, however we should not forget the famous quote that democracy is the worst form of government.

Pieter Hintjens the ZeroMQ founder wrote the book "The Psychopath Code". I learnt that some bad people are enough to make a community capsize. I am not sure whether this applies to democracies as well. It is a completely different scale from Open Source projects. However I think, this book is very valuable in learning why democracies have enormous difficulties.

I am afraid, however, that the alternatives are even worse.
