I feel like we're living through the death of democracy because a list of issues (from gerrymandering to demographics) mean that small groups wield oversized power. Agriculture is <6% of the US economy and only about 10% of the US workforce is related to it. Yet whole federal elections are decided based on candidates comments about corn and it receives huge pointless subsidies and is very badly under regulated. The same is true here in the UK. The same is true of other groups too. A core political issue in the 2020s will be how to deal with tiny groups holding oversized political power as we cannot afford to just keep paying them off (or worse, letting them "wag the dog" as they did with Brexit) anymore.
