It's increasingly becoming only about election these days in many countries IMO. Political groups race to win next election. Even most of the actions of the ruling party is focused to win the upcoming election. They take every opportunity to show off their success only because they want to stay in power longer, and the opposition party takes every opportunity to bash ruling party to take the power back. With a few exceptions in Europe, it feels that the main focus isn't the nation interest anymore. Which is very disappointing. But someone could also argue that it's all necessary and that's how it should work. Which then I think there are too many flaws on the current system. I personally like to see an alternative model. Shouldn't be impossible to invent a model that holds politicians accountable for their actions, still involves people, and it isn't prone to corruption. Just enough support to academics to design a better system. We're spending way too much for political campaigns, yet every time there is a discussion about fixing current problems the first answer is that it's too expensive to solve and we shouldn't touch it.
