In order to avoid frivolous candidacies, and parties, the introduction of a system of fees, or deposits, and/or a higher number of signatures should be considered for future elections. This system could help limit the proliferation of Parties and Candidatesn while affordable fees could be refunded if a candidate attains a certain proportion of valid votes (threshold).
