As opposed to Australia with it's preferential system that produces governments with a majority no matter how slim. And 5 years is far too long..3 years so much better. And compulsory voting gets out around 93% of voters in Oz. Compulsory voting is wrong also. People should have a right not to vote.

Across parties there is no effective representation of local needs. Global forces drive economic policies, the media more local issues. No one knows what is real or not anymore due to social media, which has also killed attention spans and interest or engagement in communities or the real world. AI will further vastly compromise this. Democracy in any meaningful sense has, I think, had its time.
