1000% agree but no idea what the solution is.
We had a referendum on proportional representation vote and you should have seen the adverts from the against camp, it was depressingly expected though.
- munk-a 8y agoFrom what I have seen I'm the most optimistic about either ranked choice voting or leveling seats to help promote more diverse opinions in politics and I think that publicly funded elections are going to be a must either way - the corruption and elevation of corporate interests are getting too extreme. How we get to that point I'm not certain of. But one hilarious thing in the US is a trend lately of people submitting ballot measures, those ballot measure passing, and then the conservative held government refusing to honor those ballot measures. I don't personally thing direct democracy is a good general solution, voters generally won't have the expertise to decide intelligently, but when an issue is prominent enough that a plebiscite is called going against that is incredibly undemocratic.
