Draft and submit a law that would enforce competency tests to all election candidates.

Created by M.J. on August 24, 2014

We - the people - believe our democracy is flawed and sick. We elect people without knowing if they are able to perform properly the work assigned to them. In most cases, the information simply isn't there, but we are asked to blindly decide of who should lead us towards our future.

We believe that in this age of technology, it is simply unacceptable.

When applying for a job, it is common to undergo competency test. We propose that every candidate to government election should undergo political, economical, historical and basic science test. The results would then be published publicly in newspaper and online.

The questions would be submitted and peer-reviewed by experts in those fields. Questions would then be randomly chosen. Biased or opinion-based question would be rejected.
