Politics is for the Common Good
There has been too much partisanship and people have been pitted against each other. This is not a good way to run common affairs.
Extreme confrontation can sometimes be a good way to find alternatives or compromises. But as an end in itself, or as the most visible form of action, confrontation does not produce the common good.
However, a constitutional republic of free individuals and the conduct of public affairs through representatives is a good system (res publica, demos kratein). But power must remain with the people and representatives must manage the people's affairs by discussing them openly.
In elections, candidates are nominated by the party organisation or the constituency organisation. They must be supported on an election-by-election basis. Continuous party support in its various forms must be stopped.
Citizens should be effectively informed about the activities of their parliamentary and council representatives. To this end, financial and other support should be given to representatives and the groups they form.
Such a reform would create meaningful conditions for people and their elected representatives to participate, debate and influence society.
