What a superb question.
I think that this question should be put by the electorate to all politicians before we choose to vote for them.
I personally have never voted for any of them. I did vote once in a local council election but that is it. Thats 50 years of not voting since I first became of age to vote at 18.
Not one politician has ever represented my views and beliefs about how society should be run for the betterment of its people.
As a complete idealist and fantasist, I would like society and work in particular to be managed as a devotional service. No pay for any work. You work because you value the society you want to live in and are prepared to contribute to make that happen. Especially no pay for any politicians or money/lobbying in politics at all.
Countries split up into political ideologies. If you like the right wing way of doing things then you go to live in a state or county that only those who voted for a right wing party live.
The same for left wing voters and all those who prefer the middle ground of politics and even communism and socialism. you live with those who voted the same as you and benefit from, or suffer, the consequences of your vote.
Not as it now is; you vote for the left, your party loses and you suffer right wing policies. The same could be said of a right wing voter, they voted for a right wing party, they lose and suffer left wing policies.
For me this is the best way. Imagine for a moment the recent hatred of immigration in the USA. If all Trump voters lived in the same state then only those people who voted for Trump would be affected by those policies. The rest of the USA people and states would not be affected at all.
You may choose to live in a state that offers; Equality, free housing, free medical care, Free education, free everything. Or you can choose a state that offers and follows the capitalist way.
we can then vote for what we believe in and truly expect to live in a society that offers what we believe to be right.
This can only exist as a fantasy in my own mind.
