Yep, the government is very slow to change, by design. If more people understood that, they'd see that politicians on any side who promise major overhauls to how the country runs are lying, it's simply not possible with our current setup. Whether the government becomes more liberal or conservative, it'll take a while. At the same time, it's important to not get complacent, because the further the government goes down a path you don't like, the harder it gets to turn it around.

Our experience has been that anything that results from our work will be compromised, and we want to aim high so that we can compromise somewhere in the middle. It seems like you're implying that people who argue for "x" are ignorant of the fact that they'll get a fraction of x. Anecdotally, people who argue for "x" are aware of the fact that they'll get a fraction... so they ask for very high values of x.
