Humor me. A coworker of mine covered the floor in some cheap off-brand Febreze that smells like cheap brandy. I think the fumes go to me.
I have an idea that can only work in the age of computers. Well part of an idea. Hey, Doc, smoke a bowl and maybe you'll be able to improve on this!
First of all, let's replace the government with something like the New York stock exchange. Then let's get rid of voting. Hear me out! It gets better... or funnier... not sure which.
Then we allocate to each person a certain number of shares. Shares are not real money and have no currency value. They are political capitol. Haha. Get it?
Then all the parties and any coalition of independents or party dissenters become incorporated and citizens are able to invest shares in any parties they wish and pull out their shares at any time. Thus the system constantly moves as people see fit to invest their shares.
Not sure what the shares are actually worth aside from some kind of political capitol. I don't know. I wish I could say I was high when I came up with this, kind of like the novel idea about the video game where you're actually shooting aliens via a camera and laser but then one day- they figure out how to escape.
But no. I think it's just been a weird day.
But maybe this will spark some thought.

What if the stock market collapses? ahahahahaha, I crack me up.

If the shares had no financial value, why would anyone want them? ... And if they did, plutocracy would result. Then again, with my bizarre authoritarian ideas, who am I to criticize any political system.

If the shares actually represent political power -- i.e., votes -- they will quickly acquire a monetary value. As in, "Pay me $100 and I'll move my shares to support your party." You'd also have a bit of chaos if you allowed the makeup of government to change every day. Someone could be a Senator one day, unemployed the next, and then back to being a Senator on Day 3.

You'd also have to come up with a system for dealing with the "I can't be bothered" folks, since they will hold shares but never allocate them to a party. Or allocate them and then never move them.

Also, if you examine how "corporate governance" works, you'll understand why I put that in quotes. Individual shareholders supposedly have a voice, but in practice they're powerless.

Java - I think I see your reasoning here. If so, I think I know a type of structure that works pretty well in reality while still retaining the merits of your system. That would be the "proportianal representation" type.
