Democracy has been a disaster for my country (the UK) for the last 30 years. It's given us endless bad policy. It's wrecking every institution that made the UK livable. It's increased taxes and cut spending on anything not for small select groups. We're going backwards socially.
I don't think ye-olde, people voting by fptp for someone to represent them on a party basis, for years when they can't actually tell you policies or names of those representatives democracy works anymore. Maybe social media or just media in general has broken it. Maybe people have just gotten really shitty.
