A project to change constitutions needs to be pushed by politicians. But politicians suck, which implies they will not be inclined to push for constitution changes.

So the system converges to a suck-state.




Well.. it doesn't HAVE to be. But the alternative is revolution, which is often (always?) much worse than the sucky system in the first place. That's why we are stuck here.

But I do think it's possible to have change. I am an optimist. But first we need to try different things on a smaller scale. Municipalities is a good level.


I wrote this comment as a sort of factual observation of cause and effect.

However, I see it is downvoted without replies. What have I missed?


Change constitutions to what? I think people are far too quick to throw away things they don't fully understand the value of.
