Are you really that stupid, jgoins? Do you really think that a complete change of incumbents is the answer? Or even that it could possibly happen?

What a dumbass!

Firstly, you will lose a lot of good politicians, who will be disillusioned with the system because they worked hard and did right by their constituents, and yet got ousted.

Secondly you will lose a lot of experience, so the newly elected officials will flounder for some time.

Thirdly, because you are not selecting a replacement fully on the issues and the person, you will get people elected who really shouldn't be there.

And most importantly, the newly elected are going to be scared to do anything because they will realise that if they do, even if they listen to those who elected them, potentially nearly half of their constituents will think they are not listening to the people because they didn't do what they want. That's on each issue, so over the course of their tenure of service the majority of people will think that they were not listened to (on at least one issue) so will vote them out.

I suggest you think through the consequences of your ideas before you start believing them. (*horse*)
