Understanding Human Nature and Tapping the Best Out Of It

The two methods for selecting candidates for election suggested in this model ("Sortition" and the "Triad System") ensure that the candidates will be truthful in all their representations. In addition, the methods of initiative and referendum suggested for implementation at the "micro" governing level ensure that voters can express their opinions day to day and make them "relevant" during the process of any ensuing election. The model as a whole does not require the existence of political parties and can be implemented on an independent basis.
