OK, I think I have it down to three major reasons
1. Outrageous campaign costs=big company loyalty
We cant be spending millions of dollars just to get elected when our nation is in debt. Even if we weren't in debt the idea that we need to buy the voters respect is ridiculous. I say let them have free campaign ads and let there be open debates so that the two main parties cant just block out the little guys by buying up more ads. Especially since they will have to do pretty big favors to repay the companys that gave them the money in the first place.
2. We need more major partys, or else we should due away with the party issue.
There are so many issues out there and there is no way you could possibly agree with everything that one party says. For example, I like many of the democrats take on what we should do in foreign policy, but I hate the fact that they are pro choice. If we didnt have partys we would start voting for people and beliefs, and not just because we hate one view of a particular party.
3. No more practiced speeches
I want a leader who can anser any question and quickly find a solution on the spot. I want there to be open debates in which there are questions (the canidates dont know what the questions will be) which are asked on the spot and they must anser all of the questions. That would give us a far better idea of who we are voting for, not just what the writers of the speech think.
If you agree with me let me know. If you disagree with me let me know. I know my solutions aren't sure fire ways to stop political corruption, but i think it would be a step in the right direction.
