one year terms for elected individuals in public offices
no second term
getting elected is a random draw (akin to jury duty) based on the individuals' capabilities

Who asseses people's capabilities in this system? As they are likely the most powerful people.
With 1 year and no second term they're just gonna steal everything within their reach from day 1, so we need to balance it with:
all public servants live under full transparency, 24/7 body cams etc for years after, financial transparency for life
2x to all prison sentences while serving
a well-oiled practice to jail everyone who ain't a total saint
Then, maybe.
It'd need to be a system that automates itself instead of needing surveillance. Something that simply disincentivizes corruption.
How about "if you accept the bribe, report it and do nothing, you can keep it"?
If you don't change the economic system then you'll just run into exactly the same problems as we already have.
