Winston Churchill reportedly said that Democracy s the worst form of Government except for all the others we have tried.
Democracy, by its definition. serves the will of the majority and leaves the minority unhappy. Now this is not completely true since even the losers in our form can have significant representation and influence
Our system allows the minority to impede legislation and bring progress to a standstill. The other wasy to look at that is that it doesn't allow reckless proposals to pass.
The most common outcome we suffer through is a reaction to the last winners of dissatisfaction. This leads to a change in the majority. This generally doesn't fix the issues.
It has led both parties to focus on winning, which is normal. However what are they winning?
