I don't know how it works in the US, but one way in which the democratic process could be revived in the UK woulkd be to put a cap on campaign spending. This would provide an incentive for smaller independent parties that lack the massive financial power of the major parties to step into the arena. At the moment, democracy has less to do with what you have to offer the people than it does how much you can afford to spend convincing them to vote for you.
