I'm not sure that would be any better. Being in power long enough affords them the ability to cast of any means of succession.
I think more important is to make the leader a figurehead with less powers, and have powers instead vested in smaller government institutions that are closer to the people.
GM nostr. Just having some coffee and signing this petition.

I haven't gotten into DMR yet, but I can imagine that would be a difficulty.
Some people are aghast that I use #linux for #hamradio. Even more so when I say I use #archlinux.
The thing is it just works for me. I'm able to accomplish what I need to do. Does it solve the problem for my radio club friends? no... But that wasn't the intention anyways. I don't run windows on any of my devices. You also won't find MacOS here either.
I'm not saying its right for you, I'm not saying you should or shouldn't do anything. I am explaining what works for me. I have good reasoning too, as I have found this to be the best solution for me over a decades-long computing journey. If you want to know why, you are free to ask.
GM nostriches. My #coffeechain post today is my Morning Glories growing on the windowsill. We have a couple buds now, but no blooms yet. 
Was up late last night working on our field day antenna setup for the amateur radio club. Tested and working, and we didn't see any interference between the two dipoles. We also heard from the UK, as well as Florida and Georgia. Field day is happening on Saturday-Sunday and its going to be great! Thank is nostr:npub107wu70c6vahfehgmy5djx8hnah3mfr948hkejx2kngxtt2e304sscl7jtx for coming out to help!

Lol, solar-mode. Very different from drone-hunting mode he had at LinuxFest. Good times.
GM nostriches!
Having some creamy coldbrew.

So much to do!
Tomorrow, myself and nostr:npub107wu70c6vahfehgmy5djx8hnah3mfr948hkejx2kngxtt2e304sscl7jtx are headed up to the mountain to go camping. From 101*F to 75*F its going to be so nice.
Bringing the radios to do a little #pota as well.

GM! I'm outdoors, Enjoying some cold-brew iced coffee with my ham radio. Listening to the local repeater discussion

I dont think it will work...Not directly with LEDs. Radio waves inducted on an antenna are an alternating current, not a direct current, which LEDs expect.
You could do incandescent bulbs but not certain there's enough power to really light them up(depends on distance and directionality of the radio waves). I have seen people transmit with incandescent Christmas lights as an antenna, it works sorta, but that's a different power profile than receiving.
If you still want to do LEDs, you would have to find a way to convert the AC radio waves to DC... I don't think this is much unlike a strobe, so maybe you can modify one of those sound-based strobe devices to light the LEDs based on the incoming radio signal instead of based on incoming sound.
I was so tired today, and I couldn't figure out why. Perhaps I didn't sleep well, not sure.
Then I'm shuffling around the kitchen, and I notice the coffee pot is still full at 2pm... Mystery solved. I was so busy making a big breakfast, I forgot to drink the coffee I made.

A very rare radio event occured this morning: I made a HF voice contact!
Glad to finally connect with nostr:npub15gfzlmtj75754dm9t4alwaka836l4dym9u0ssd4qhw2v6dqwq8fqn3nq7a! Good luck on your POTA activations, Emily!

Congratulations!
A little late night hacking on my Quansheng uvk-5 to make it receive SSB on all HF bands.
Listening to AM radio with a hotdog antenna/receiver.

nostr:npub107wu70c6vahfehgmy5djx8hnah3mfr948hkejx2kngxtt2e304sscl7jtx take a look at this. Its a treasure trove of information!
nostr:npub107wu70c6vahfehgmy5djx8hnah3mfr948hkejx2kngxtt2e304sscl7jtx gave me an awesome little 40m QRP transceiver kit from QRPme.com called the Rockmite II. It also came with a cute little Morse code key called the "FreeKey". That's my first key! Its so awesome, I am excited to get this built. Time for some radio tinkering!
Well that was fun! Nice simple build, and I tested it and it works. Guess I need to finish learning Morse code! Thanks nostr:npub107wu70c6vahfehgmy5djx8hnah3mfr948hkejx2kngxtt2e304sscl7jtx!
