If you don't change the economic system then you'll just run into exactly the same problems as we already have. The one year term elected officials will be handed pre-written legislation by corporations, they'll be heavily incentivized to pass it, if they don't it'll be a short turn around before the people with Capital can try again, and if they instead try to pass their own legislation that Capital doesn't approve of it they'll get the next person to undo it.
