Yet it doesn't happen without, essentially, a plot, perhaps the kingdom in civil war, and the next leader is just the next in line, with no real debate on worthiness either.
As well, kings have also been known to hold power through decades of poor decisions.
- hutzlibu 5y agoWell, I am certainly in favor of democracy, but the existing modell with the way its election system works, you could probably describe as an long series of plots. Just usualy without bloodshed.
- bbarnett 5y agoYou want people who care, and are passionate enough to strive to lead, to effect change they see as important. I agree that this alway needs tweaking, improvements. And some countries need more election laws to help clean things up a bit. But there will always be strife, otherwise, everything is perfect, therefore, why even try to change the status quo?
- hutzlibu 5y agoWell, I would say, that the various election and power systems were made in a time without digital, instant communication. I believe a fundamentally better approach is possible today. One where it is more easy for the voter to directly influence - and not be limited to a short choice and a long theater leading up to it. Liquid democracy for example brings some new concepts.
