I got two words for you....term limits......if they know they only have x amount of years maybe they;d listen a little better.....maybe
No doubt that would help. But to me their primary objective would still be to "get elected, and stay elected".
If they were term limited out, they'd just run for something else, or lobby to get some kickback once they leave Office.
I'd prefer citizen legislatures. Meet for the first three months of the year, pass the bills needed, then go back home to work your real jobs. No more serving at the pleasure of the citizens on their dime. No more permanent residence in D.C. with paid staffs and bloated budgets to maintain satellite offices back in the district.
Pay for your own transportation, staff, meetings, office, and campaigns. No more "franked mail" touting how hard you're working for the people who are paying your salary and expenses to keep your cushy job.
Get a real job, and work under the very laws (restrictions) you pass for us to work under and exempt yourselves from.
I mean it Snow Sled Baby, I despise them.
