Institute a special tax. Election Tax. 0.001% of all corporate/personal income. No exceptions, no write-offs.
Once every X years, a web-site, a tv station, and a radio station come online.
The money collection from the tax is then used to give 25, not more than 2 per registered political party, enough air-time to express their views. Money is distributed evenly and the entire process is overseen by 25 randomly-chosen people of which at least 13 have no party affiliation.
A federal 3-day holiday is in effect during which you, as a citizen, have no other job but to vote for a candidate after learning about their positions on various policies.
The whole circus ends after 3 days and we go back to living our lives.
