'''Randomocracy''' is a theoretical form of government in which members of the government are chosen by random [[draft]], instead of campaigning for office. It is based on [[Douglas Adams]]' famous comment that anyone who wants to wield power probably shouldn't be allowed to.
== Positive aspects of Randomocracy ==
* It will result in vastly greater representation among lower-class economic castes, as opposed to the current system, where everyone is represented by wealthy white male lawyers and bankers.
* Possibly, legislation that is readable by humans will be passed.
* Since nobody campaigns for office, the enormous expenditure of effort and money of [[political campaigns]] will be obsolete.
== Common Criticisms of Randomocracy ==
* With all legislaters only serving a single term, accountability for bribery and corruption will be drastically reduced.
* Members of unpopular beliefs and genders might be elected to office.
