One thing that I would like to see is full transparency of advertising. There's no (good) reason that I know of for keeping the details of political advertising secret. I would like to be able to go to a central website that lists in detail how much advertising money a specific campaign spent, where, on what.

That's what Facebook has already done. You can go and check out the content/spending for past political Facebook ads (since the feature was introduced).

It could be better: everything in one place, more policing/fines for people trying to 'bend the rules', etc.

Oh I see, I wasn't aware of that! That's good of course, though it'd be nicer if that was enforced on a country level with mandatory reporting by the campaigns. Rather than us having to hope more social media follows the Facebook 'example', and then having to scrape the data from all kinds of different sources to get a better overall picture...
