I would like to suggest that political parties...ALL of them...are the main problem in democracy, not the solution, and we would be better off if they all ceased to exist and were not even allowed to exist. You can form a national assembly that works just fine in the complete absence of political parties, and one would be far better off doing so. All you need to do is run nothing but independent candidates, NONE of whom are associated with or beholden in any way to ANY political party structure. Run several of them in each riding, vote for the one you respect and believe in the most. Let those elected form a national assembly and vote among themselves to select a prime minister and other key officials from amongst themselves. Let them debate policy and vote. There is no need for these damned political parties which have all sold out to rich elites long ago, and only pretend to represent the general public.

People have to free themselves from being hypnotized into believing that they must have these corrupt political parties in order to have a democracy.
