Make people run on their own merit and everyone receive the same amount of campaign funds.

I like the principle, but I don't think it's realistic unless we're talking about Nauru or somewhere. In any country with more than a million people, you can't have an unfiltered process or you have the realistic possibility of tens of thousands of candidates. Possibly hundreds of thousands. People already don't spend enough time learning what a candidate stands for, how are they going to do that when it's one out of 59,393?
