It's an interesting idea, but one person's independent council is unfortunately another person's lobbyists. There is no, as far as I've ever seen, any scientifically proven middle ground. If there was an established and rigorously proven way to do politics and political accountability, we certainly wouldn't be in this mess. The challenge is that at every level of accountability, anyone with enough power can find a way to corrupt. There used to be a universal belief in truth, but that belief has been, in many subject matters, largely eroded away. Today, mostly there is only right for you or me. Not so much right as a whole. I find people on talk shows talking about doing "the right thing". What the hell does that begin to amount to today? Does anyone have a clue?
