Some form of sortition probably;

Basically treat political office as a civic duty, much like jury duty.
Give them a very generous salary and have a maximum term after which they can never be reinstated.
Also ban completely any form of financial lobbying.
- userulluipeste 11y agoI don't know how this worked back then, but what prevents acts of corruption or any other kind of power abuse from the instated public figures' part? BTW, the power itself legitimizes lobbying, so this may sound a little cynical but when you ban means convenient for corruption then it simply goes underground until it finds its way to being legit again in some form. Maybe this is the way it's supposed to be (the cynical part) - the game of life and the ever-present competition inside our species?
