As a government*
While the government is supposed to be for the people, by the people, they often act against the desires and interests of the population.
- eropple 8y agoDunno where you are, but in the States somewhere between forty-five and fifty-five percent of the voting public will vote for just about anything if it's good "for the economy". (That is the charitable reading of their voting record, anyway.)
- clarkmoody 8y agoNah, they'll vote for anything their party tells them to. Most people don't have any sort of guiding principles. Their decisions are mainly based on tribalism, identity, and partisanship.
- jmcqk6 8y ago>> As a society > As a government These are not different things. The government is made up of people from society. There is no secret cabal running things, just a bunch of people. If you want to treat the government as something other than yourself, then this is the inevitable result.
