1) A TOTAL BAN ON ANY FORM OF ELECTRONIC VOTING.

I'd be happy with electronic voting if there was a paper trail for verifiability.

2) PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION MUST REPLACE FIRST-PAST-THE-POST VOTING

I don't know what FIRST-PAST-THE-POST VOTING means.

3) A TOTAL ABOLITION OF MONEY IN POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS AND STIFF PRISON SENTENCES FOR ANY LOBBYISTS ATTEMPTING TO PAY ANY MONEYS (in whatever form from golf tee fees to whore's hourly rates) TO OFFICIALS FOR FAVORS.

Political campaigns cost. Somehow money has to be involved. Where it comes from and how it's spent is somewhat open to debate. Successful prosecution of illegal political favors is difficult. Does the NRA buy votes or does it donate to candidates who support them? To establish the former beyond a reasonable doubt is darn hard.
