Some problems associated with the Westminster system of government that these proposals are meant to address.

 

Conflict of interest where a person is allowed to represent a constituency and a political party at the same time in the same parliament.

 

Conflict of interest when a minister has to choose between what is best for the country and  what is best for  the party.

 

Concentration of power where a person is allowed to sit in Parliament; the legislative branch of government, and be a part of Cabinet, the executive branch of government at the same time.

 

Undue influence where persons who donate large sums of money to a political party determine government’s policy.

 

Conflict and confrontation, where one party is fighting to retain power and another fighting to gain power.

 

Under the present system, because a person who is elected to parliament could also be appointed to head a ministry that person has to choose between their ministerial responsibility and the desire of their constituents dialogue with them. My proposals would eliminate this problem because a representative would be a representative and a minister would be a minister.
