I don't disagree, but I don't understand how this contradicts grandparent poster's point. While it's not always the rule, people usually vote for those representatives that they believe will more likely make decisions aligned with their preferences.
- fortzi 3y agoOnce they've voted for whomever made the best election campaign, can now do as they please, sans checks and balances that exist in a modern democratic country. Once this government has been established, they started pushing their reform, which has caused many to switch sides. Recent polls show that the coalition wouldn't win an election, if it would be held today. What do you say to the now majority of the people that don't approve of the government's actions? too bad that you made that mistake of trusting those guys? In a truly democratic country, the elected government should have power, but it must be held in check by powerful institutions like the supreme court.
