Sometimes the people in charge fuck up? They're running a streak of fuck-ups and while different parties run different ideas, I want none of the current politicians running a country. The problem is, that there is no "sack the heads of all parties and start new without those problematic persons so we can get a new start" option to vote for. But yes, the typical person does not care... On the other hand, the government will always stay them. They purely live off work others do. They have no incentive to improve since they do not need to generate income, they simply "take" what they need from the rest of the population. Any kind of streamlining or efficiency improvement will just kill jobs of their political buddies.

> The problem is, that there is no "sack the heads of all parties and start new without those problematic persons so we can get a new start" option to vote for. Why not? New parties replacing established parties does happen now and again in various countries. Recent example: 358 city/municipal councilors, 4 mayors, incl. mayor of Prague, etc. by the Czech Pirate Party (founded 2009). Even more often than that established parties tend to revise their positions when a new party threatens them, essentially trying to absorb some of their viewpoints and votes. Recent example: various right wing parties like the German AFD (founded 2013) or UK's UKIP have been hugely influential. Either way it means voters are heard in some way. Now you might be talking from experience about some specific country, but in that case it would be helpful of you to mention which one.
