Or you could do like a ancient Greece where serving in the Senate was more like jury duty & people are appointed by random ballot.

I think representative democracy is fine, it's career politicians I'd do away with.

I would favour just appointing people by random ballot (not from a particular group). That would be far more representative of the population. It would solve issues like having fair representation for women of ethnic minorities etc.
