    Ah yes - pissing away your vote on a third party in a 2 party first-past-the-post system will definitely fix it and not simply empower the greater evil.

      It’s only pissing away if you don’t know that others vote alike. With surveys you know when a party is ready to take over.

          None. My point is that the majority is not ready to manage power. If somebody takes it by force, it will rest in the hands of a new elite, which will most likely be corrupted soon after.

          Something is missing for the masses to hold power. Instead of organizing a revolution time is better spent on discovering that something.

            We already know what’s missing. We keep setting up power structures based on systems that have proven not to work long term. Study The Six Nations. They lasted for 25,000 years. Their power structure was based on a council, not an individual.
