Stupidity - the single reason why democracies never work

[MasterPhantom]

Because the voters of the nations are stupid. They keep electing these stupid leaders "hoping" for change, then getting nothing.

The voters aren't stupid. It's just that every candidate for office lately is either so mediocre they refuse to make any real change or is so radical that they couldn't make a change if they wanted to.

Maybe over time this will shift, but it's going to require a gradual breakdown of a Washingtonian establishment that is more than half a century old. Politicians don't like their cozy atmospheres being threatened, and they will fight any drastic change tooth and nail.

Reason why I wouldn't be elected. I would completely reform the system and I will make laws/rules in regards to things which have not even come into our technological view, opposed to the other way round. (make laws 10-20 years later after when it has become commonplace)
