> How do we fix this? Somebody said it. Swiss-style combination of direct and representative democracy. So you can let political parties do their jobs, but there is a corrective measure if they try to sneak in a lwa against the people. In a pure representative democracy, there is absolutely no (practical) way to prevent politiciens to lie during elections but to make an U turn after the elections and to let influential stakeholders literaly purchase laws. There are no "checks and balances" between politicians and people, to a extent that allows the ruling parties literaly team up and form a cartel against the same people who vote them in. Partial direct democracy. If people think they should have a direct say on something, even if its a swiss style mosque ban, nobody has the right to deny it to them, under no possible justification.
