I think the key to improving the US government is to bring the system closer to a one person, one vote situation. I believe the best way to achieve this would be to do the following: 1) Abolish the electoral college and go with the popular vote for the presidency. 2) Weight a senator's vote by the population of their state. So a senator from California would have more voting power than a senator from Alaska. 3) Draw congressional districts via an "I cut, you choose" type system [1] Our current system has a number of problems. Swing states in presidential elections become the focus of presidential candidates and their platforms, even though those states are not home to the majority of the US population. Also, our current system creates weak links in the chain that are easier to exploit. For example, if you are a corporation looking to block legislation the most efficient means of doing so would be to contribute to the campaigns of the senators from smaller states. The average amount raised in 2012 by senate winners in California was $29.3M vs just $1.7M in Utah. It is much less expensive to influence smaller senate races, but the voting power a corporation would influence is the same. [2] If senate voting power was weighted by population, corporations or other groups would have to influence costlier senate races.
