"In order to improve the quality of legislation, we are considering bringing in law professors and students to help legislators formulate bills and make up for the lack of professionalism among MPs," says Vyacheslav Volodin, Speaker of the Russian State Duma.
The environment of the real world is constantly changing, and the model best suited to promote quality legislation is a committee-centered system. The Duma should set up 12 committees to handle affairs related to national and global matters and enhance professionalism in the assembly. Specialists in various fields should be encouraged to participate in elections for the Duma. In addition, 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year to ensure they will be in touch with international events and local public opinion. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development
