Electoral System
The current electoral system leaves much to be desired in relation to representivity and interaction with constituents. A parliament made up predominantly of party-listed candidates with very little provision for regional representation is not a good way to try to ensure accountability of parliament to real live people on the ground.
   Rather parliament should reduce its count to 350 representatives, with 250 of these being drawn from 50 population-density equal constituencies (5 representatives from each) spread over the 9 provinces, and the remaining 100 Members of Parliament should be drawn from national proportional party lists.
   This will make the MP interaction with the electorate a meaningful possibility. MPs must meet with all members of legislatures in their constituencies throughout any particular year to ensure proper feedback and communication from grass-roots level up to parliament level. Likewise ward councillors must advertise their office addresses and hours for taking appointments to see constituents about their problems and needs. Councillors who display no interest in assisting the people with their issues have no place in an SABP municipal or governmental structure.
