alternatives to debates we should use more often in elections
candidates have to take a standardized test about government, economics, and current events. no cheating. their answers are published.
candidates have to draw countries out of a hat and play model UN together
candidates have to play as contestants in a political version of the old game show “The Dating Game”, with a random citizen serving as the “single” person looking for their representative match
candidates are given a simulation problem to solve in a limited time, with real political allies and experts potentially on call for them to reach out to. at the end of the time limit all candidates propose their solutions.
candidates have to take a conflict resolution seminar live on stage, and do team building exercises together
a debate, but like in debate club where the candidates don’t know which side they have to argue until the moderator tells them
candidates each have to participate in an “undercover boss” scenario where they do a normal job for a week. the normal job is selected by an independent panel and secret from the candidate until they show up in makeup
