Student List Installs Meritocratic Parliament

A youth‑led electoral vehicle (the 'Student List') won an absolute majority in Serbia by running non‑politician experts — cardiologists, economists, engineers — and by rule barred career politicians from nomination. Their stated agenda is transitional: depoliticize institutions, audit procurement, restore judicial independence and return representatives to private life after reforms. — If repeatable, this model reframes how democracies can combine popular mandate with expert governance and raises urgent questions about accountability, term limits for technocrats, and democratic legitimacy.
