The Political System Has To Change

The political system at all levels (federal, provincial, state, county, municipal and city) have to change from selfishness to love of others. Politicians have to seek to benefit others instead of themselves.

The entire political system has to:
1. Use a round-table format for discussions, where all members are considered equal
2. Be 100% transparent, even using a reality show format for continuous video feed
3. Deliberate and discuss all issues to demonstrate that all issues have been considered
4. Prioritize actions based on emergencies and need
5. Find a way to include input from all citizens so everyone is given a chance to participate
6. Put an end to all lobby groups and forces that put pressure on the decision making process
 
Transparency will build trust and when citizens are allowed to participate in governance issues, they'll be more likely to cooperate with decisions even if their personal preferences are overlooked. This will reduce resentment because everyone will feel that they're a part of the process.
 
The political system has to change from selfishness to love of others, it has to be based on the principles of mutual guarantee, where everyone seeks to benefit others instead of themselves.
