The 2/3rds rule

I've got an answer to our political troubles that's way better than campaign finance reform (which, keep in mind, would be a HUGE advancement for democracy).

Let's make it so that to win an election, you need 2/3rds of the vote. If neither candidate gets that much, we have a run-off election. If after the runoff, neither candidate has 2/rds, then the political parties have to pick a new, better candidate.

I know what you're thinking: "Who in the world would get more than 52% of the vote? Isn't 52% a landslide these days? A mandate?"

Well, once the candidate wins, they are supposed to represent 100% of their constituents.

So the least we can do is have 'em go 2 for 3, at least as practice for when they have to go 3 for 3.
