Democratically elected representatives of the people appear to be more unsuitable than hoped. They have characteristics that allow them to predominate in a wasp's nest where it is all about catching each other's flies. That only works if you are quick to speak and overestimate yourself so that you come across as confident.
It is also important not to be able to see further than two minutes into the future, otherwise doubts could arise. What certainly helps is if only one future scenario is possible. As a result, promises can be made.
If circumstances change quickly, this turns the promises into lies or a scam because the promise is not kept. To get away with that, you have to be absolutely convinced that it was not your fault that you saw it completely wrong and made weighty statements without understanding the facts. No: you had 'vision'. At that moment you stood for your ideals, just like Pol Pot, Mao, Stalin, Hitler.
A more adventurous spirit sees that things can turn out differently, but voters do not like doubts or beating around the bush. So it works democratically to your advantage if you have no self-reflection, no reluctant conscience, just enough knowledge to talk your way out of something, appear energetic, and hide behind 'the system'. This is also demonstrated here.
In the last elections, that behavior was clearly rewarded. The biggest liars and ducks stay put.
Democracy may be the least bad option for a country, but it turns out to be a very bad option if more has to be done than just minding the store.
The inherent dysfunctionality of such a policy system increases with scale. You can already see this in the EU's policy: men and women who cannot do math well clump together around an EU 'story' that takes on disastrous proportions due to the granted power. It becomes a flywheel that can no longer be stopped, even if it turns in the wrong direction.
Can you imagine what kind of drama a World Union would be. Then there is no place at all for the dynamics within and between all those different societies. Interaction from citizens only disrupts De Visie.
De machtsconcentraties walsen steeds onverstoorbaarder over een deel van de bevolking heen en de rest staat met vlaggetjes langs de kant te juichen. Achter het stuur wordt vriendelijk teruggezwaaid.
