    This is the folly of representative democracy. It inevitably becomes less about policy and instead a popularity contest between figureheads.

    Representative democracy has run its course, and the problems it solved (the fact that it’s not practical for everyone to attend places of government from far away) have all but been solved by technology. Bring on direct democracy.
