Ahh... politics... the fine art of scoring points without actually ever accomplishing anything...

  The United States governmental structural encourages obstruction. If your whole platform is 'government bad', its incredibly easy to keep the government from functioning. I don't think the constitutions writers really planned for a mainstream political party becoming anti-democracy and the basic assumption was that people elected to the government would all desire a high-functioning government while disagreeing about what that government should do.

    It is difficult to watch from a distance, in a country with a Westminster parliamentary system. (Which has its own problems, to be sure).
