In a democratic system, people accused of serious wrong doing are tried before a jury of peers who determine their innocence or guilt.
The selection process of a jury is arduous, with both sides wanting to know as much as possible about the juror’s beliefs so they can predict the way they will react to different scenarios.
Why is the process of electing political representatives less than that of selecting a jury member.
Why is the process of election based on their party’s beliefs and not about who and what the person is. Surely you need to know their values and personal beliefs so as to give you a guide as to how they will react in uncertain times.
If you only want to elect a representative who follows the party line, then they are not a representative of you, just the party. This system leads to dictatorship.
