I hate cars analogies. But now I'm going to make one. Sixty or seventy years ago, cars were unsafe, contaminant, ugly, heavy... add to this that they were driven mostly by (often drunk) males. What has changed? How? Did some of the changes annoy big corporations? That's it. What are the problems with democracy now? I'd say: - Defective control of party functioning: represenatives hiding behind party line, opaque lobbying, etc. - Bad representation systems. Winner takes it all that prevents new minority parties to enter the system. - Opinion created and spread top-down through media and representatives. These are general non-partisan problems, couldn't they be solved on their own?
