Reflecting on the trend towards nastiness in recent elections, I'm becoming disillusioned with the political process. My outlandish suggestion would be for each candidate to submit their platform to the elections body (here's what I'll do, here's what I won't do) They mail out a pamphlet to each household detailing the candidate's platforms a week before the election and then you go vote. No arguing, no campaigning, no attacking. Everyone just politely accepts the result and continues on with their life.
