I think the only way we can get the PARTIES accountable enough to trust again is to disband them and force them to re-form.

We also need to get rid of all the seated politicians, and reform the laws of accountability of those in the seats, and then re-elect new members in an OPEN ELECTION and DEBATE open to ALL PARTIES WHO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS.

That is the only way short of revolt, that I can see.

We must change the voting system before the next major election nationwide.
We must solidify some ground rules for accountability.
We must have open debates, and open ballots and voting access.
We SHOULD use IRV to help eliminate the "lesser evil" theory.

Most importantly........
I think all aspect of every election should be funded by the public ONLY, and ALL canidates limited to the same amount EQUALLY. No personal monies, no donations, no fund raisers, no NOTHING.
The only legitimate reason to have a tax in this nation, other than for national defense.
