I think most local politics can have greater participation: when there are more places to hang out and socialize in that community.
It just cannot be done by staying inside, on the internet. People have to meet face to face.
Of course, it would help too if there were political movements that caught people’s attention and whose success could be measured. Trying to elect people who are less corrupt, all by itself, will not inspire many.

I’d vote for a local politician that walked door to door introducing themselves & handing out a brochure on their position on local issues.
The councillors- and mayors-elect in my town do that. Pretty refreshing. But we’re in a small town in Canada.
