With the Internet we have a lot more access to foreign and alternative news sources. People can also easily distribute books on-line without needing to get them approved by publishing houses.

Now with the 2000 election scam we have opportunity to reform the election process, but the outrage faded too fast (!) maybe someone will get caught messing with the new computerized voting and we can go after the election process instead of just the vote tallying.

Perhaps someday we'll have a congress that actually represents the people. The next time we have a Perot or similar X party movement that takes 10% of the vote, they will actually get 10% of the congress instead of loosing 100 races by repub 45%, Dem 45%, X 10%
I like the instant-runoff voting on Nader's platform.

I don't want 50 parties and coalitions that break up constantly like Israel or Italy. But say 5-8 parties would be nice. Give candidates and voters some real choices.

Would need to fix the Senate up. Instead of 2 Senators per state, how about 300 (one per million citizens) nationally elected senators with an election method like "pick your top 5 choices for Senator" The house would continue to be regionally elected, but without the funky jigsaw-puzzle districting we get now.
