> People aren't willing to make their party accountable. Consider the possibility that party politics and bureaucracy are set up to perpetuate their internal power structures and make outside interference costly. It's "their" party in the sense that constituents are blamed for the failure of the political system but the system is set up so that no individual can constructively engage with the system without incredible sacrifice. I think this is a crucial criticism of liberal democracy. All political systems proscribe action taken outside of their logic, but their logic is set up to preserve the power structures that define that logic.
