RE: religion/culture/politics
Science-y like in scientology? ^_^

And no, it really does not work for the majority... because people who are otherwise unqualified for the job are able to take it just because many people agree with their views. Smile Also, the majority thinks it works for them... and rarely reconsiders this Smile

Isn't this an example of representative government?

It is a perfect example of why representative government alone doesn't work Smile
So a good representative government would instead represent a minority?

Oh no... the representative government is by definition supposed to 'represent' the majority...

It is the system that doesn't work here (see above response to Rhizo) Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
