A suggestion

What could be done to improve this condition? Could we have something called specified mandatory goals to mend the problem? Specified mandatory goals will be specific targets that the politicians promise to fulfil by the end of the second year of the five-year term, if they are elected to power. If they fail to meet these goals by the second year (or a specified date), they must step down and a new election will occur. For instance, they promise increased GDP by a given percentage. It is a specific goal that becomes mandatory for them to achieve. Failure to do so should result in an early removal from power and an enormous loss of public faith and support.

As these goals will be chosen by the politicians themselves, they will be forced to think of promising something that will win them votes, but at the same time is realistic. At the end of the day the result will be greater competition among the political parties, but for once the public will enjoy the greatest benefits. The general people can rest assured that development will certainly occur in specified sectors of the economy.

Of course, the most obvious difficulty of having something like this is arranging it. Secondly, a government may be foiled in their attempts to meet specified mandatory goals by sheer lack of cooperation from the opposition.

However, if these problems can be tackled, then could the concept of specified mandatory goals be applied? It is simply a raw idea, and I leave it up to the readers to consider its possibilities.
