Accounted to who ?
To the public, us the taxpayer.
We would have a detailed list of all monies spent all expenses paid.

We would have an auditor to do this. All spending made public each and every year.
Right down to the last penny.
Who appoints the auditor ?
What do they do if money is found missing ?
Do you want to rant, or do you want to deal with the facts? I have already told you that we have a constitutional officer for that very purpose.
... a theocracy like Iran?
It's easy to say, let's get rid of democracy, the challenge is to come up with an alternative practical method of running a nation. A monarchy, in which some inbred born with a silver spoon has control, a dictatorship, (Hitler, Stalin, need I say more?), a theocracy like Iran?
Well I think we should give the lottery idea a go. Also won't it be great for diversity and multi-ethnicity?
and how would you run the lottery? who would decide whose name was in there,? would you be able to take leave of absence from your job if you were selected? (all the time retaining the right to go back there when your time is up, similer to teacher-TDs). Would they get a pay off when finished(similer to current Tds). What incentive is there for them to do a good job if they don't have to take the risk of re-election?
Thank you for that point Mick1960.that brings my next question,how do you filter out people undiagnosed paranoid socio pathic with disillusions mental health problems from winning the Lottery and being put in charge of any department that could harm thousands if not millions of people. It can not be done with the present vetting system and if we vet the lottery PM s who does the vetting? or or do we vote on it?how do we vote?and if we vet who will vet the vetters?will it cost money?
Maybe people will vote different next time?
Isn't that what alot of our politicians are doing?
If you do screw up and milk the system well then you will be held accountable under Irish law. Look what's happening in the UIK were there is actually talk of charges being brought against MP's.
The problem that we have in this country, is that we complain about our politicians and then turn a blind eye to it all and just move along.
That will have to change, big time.
So is your issue with democracy or is your issue with the fact that we have a lack of accountability in Irish politics?
80 people who are chosen at random with no experience to replace 166 others with experience,I think that this should first have a trial run startingSo you are quite prepared for someone with a pathological hate of humanity be given free range in Government?We won't have any filtering . How do we filter our politicians as it is now? And so what if some one has a mental health problem, that doesn't make them any lesser than the next person.
We won't have any votes. Just select 80 people from the hat (166 is too many anyways) and let them get on with the job of running the country.
