The front of this toilet would be the familiar size and shape. The bottom of the toilet would consist of a wide basin. When the flush button is pushed:

A: A motor operated lever would push the contents into a wide vertical pipe with no bends nearby.
B: The pipe itself would be flushed by pumping a surge of water above potential blockage.
C: A bit of scented cleaning fluid would be pumped around the basin.
D: A very light second flush would rinse out the basin.

Uses less water, but more electricity.

You could operate it with a large lever for flushing but mine will be electric.

Can you work in a scissor-arm boxing glove or perhaps miniature coal cars?

Can't imagine what cleaning this moving lever would be like...

One could adapt this so as to use no moving parts - the contents of the toilet fall with gravity into the wide vertical pipe with no bends. Such a toilet would not require water, either. The bit of scented cleaning fluid could stay, and also a moon carved in the door for ventilation.
