1. Change the Incentive
We will conduct 2 phase plan.
- Change the incentive of politicians by making the problem visible
- Replace WTAD with improved system A good rule is useless without a way to implement it. Therefore, Phase 1, this file, is crucial.
No Politician Wants a Fair Election System
Imagine landing a job at your dream company, only to be told: 'We evaluate everyone on a four-year cycle. If you aren't in the top 50%, you're fired. And we’re hiring fresh talent specifically to take your spot.'
Now, you realize why politicians are so terrified of a fair system.
Only Voters Can Bring the Change
Time is not on our side. If we wait, the situation will only get worse as politicians "improve" the rules in their favor.
We, voters, are the only ones who can bring the change.
But, how do we do it? By changing incentive of politicians.
How to change thier incentive? By making the current fraudulent system visible to the majority of voters.
The goal is to make the Winner-Take-All system a bigger political risk than fixing it. Here is the 4-step plan to make that happen:
Step by Step: Make the Problem Visible
- Go Viral on Social Media: Prove that the people demand change.
- Earn Public Figure Attention: Gain credibility from respected academics and public figures.
- Secure Mass Media Coverage: Use expert endorsements to get the story into mainstream news.
- Achieve Majority Awareness: With mass media, reach a critical mass of voters, making reform a central topic of political conversation.
Only when their jobs are on the line will politicians be "happy" to finally implement a fair system.
