Time to change our broken political system

The problem with that statement is simple - how do we change it?

How do we get rid of these dead weight politicians and replace them with people who give a damn about us and our future? 

Brexit has clearly shown us that they do not care about our wellbeing or the wellbeing of our country.  They would deliberately take this country into a nightmare.  They would use no judgement skills or reasoning as to why this is a terrible idea for the majority that did not go to public school, or have well off parents to make their journey through life easier.

Now I am in no way talking about revolution, but I would imagine plenty are thinking that way.  It seems that the only way to change the human condition is through violence which I do not prescribe.  Nevertheless, extremism is on the rise in all countries, people are sick of years of austerity, poverty, and not having a future. Whether you are on the right or the left, for Brexit or against it, the only conclusion I can come to get us out of this mess is total rehaul of our political system, from how and who we elect to the goals that they have to try to meet. Do they even have targets as ministers?  The only objective they ever take seriously is self-interest or the interest of their rich friends.

The time has come to change this.
