I like the electoral college. Its a great way to balance the system and force politicians to campaign and learn about areas of the country and cater to the under-represented.
#2 is semi-retarded. What do you want them to do? Yes, we need more parties, but giving proportional representation would be a great way to get some nut jobs in power.
Otherwise, 1, 4 and 5 are good. How we do it, though, is going to be difficult. No one wants to cut the government by doing things that effect them. Look at the venom from the public unions in Ohio and Wisconsin. Even the most staunch Republican began to hate Kasich in Ohio once he started pushing for SB5. We either suffer today, or generations suffer tomorrow.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
