politicians need to be shown that if you dont do what the people want, they you will no longer be in politics..
i dont know if this would ever be possible, but one can hope...

That approach might work, but I think it needs to be simplified (dumbed down?) to a level that works in the reptile and mammal brains of the people.
By that I mean, somehow get a vicious anti-incumbency sentiment happening.
THROW THE BUMS OUT! - that kind of thing. Foster a distrust so intense, so all consuming, that no amount of pork and the lure of special deals can stand up to it.
Do not allow anyone to stay in office. Keep cyling them until they get the point.
And a distrist that cleans out the bureas too - because it's not just the elected politicians, it's the whole priviledged political class.
And the lobbyists. Lobbyists should fear for their lives.
Now, the problem is, how to get something like that cooking?

So, thats one model - what other approaches could you use?
