Paragone , 4 months ago The political parties decide what the options are. IF the political parties decide that voters have NO viable options, then .. well, they don't accept any responsibility OR any accountability, do they? It's everybody else's fault. That, right there, is why the political-party highjacking-of-countries, ought be exterminated. Democracy meant citizens voting on the issues, not on authorities who'd, har har, "do the right thing on behalf of the citizens". Current technology makes that possible. Canada can't even get long-explicitly-promised election-reform to be enacted by the guy who promised it: political-power IS corruption, to some fundamental extent. That has always been the case, for millenia.
