I thought a lot about fair government and such when I was 16-17.

And it came down to any such action being individual, thus having an initiator, who is the responsible person, or a group of such.

And such laws, when not passing through courts, should require a huge payment (should be tied to total GDP, I think), equally split among members of that group (so a group does not become an entity).

No person from among them can initiate anything such until having paid the previous.

It seems logical, I mean. If something IRL is being overloaded, it should just be a paid service. Same here.

Should be expensive enough so to not be an acceptable cost of doing business for a corrupt politician.

Also the cost should depend on which tier of laws this is - suppose regulation of milk products is lower tier than total fscking surveillance.

Also the court should be able to determine whether a rejected initiative is a repetition, in which case the cost will be, say, order x 12 x "last year's GDP" x coefficient x tier.

It's ridiculous that lawmaking is free, with the amount of value it redistributes.
