Of course on a "meta level" there are basic problems that cannot be bypassed by any system, and these problems are about system size. Because ideally it would be necessary that every member of a community can see what consequences of everyone else's (politically and economically interesting) doing has on himself, and what consequences his own political economical deeds have for everbyod else. Only that way you can have true transparency, but it unavoidably implies very small community sizes then, both geographically and economically, and also socially (population sizes). You need to make sure that those fullfilling public office duties never are allowed by the community to exclude themsleves from the consequences of decisions they make and want to impose on the community. And even under these circumstances, you still face probkems that derive fromt he mere fact that yiou have formed supra.family communties at all. The so-called "tragedy of the commons" as an exmaple.



A good deal of issues we have with our political systems, ALL of them, comes from that we simply form way too oversized communities and state structures. The bigger the system/institution/community, the more opportunities it offers to the corrupt, the abuser, the fraudster to hide in it and to redesign it to serve their own interests before the population'S interest: the core problem with practically every political party there is: that it puts its own power interests before the interests of the people. The rules and the structure of the community gets silenty chnaged to prpotect not the community form the single abuser, but to prtect the abuser in power from the community.



In the end, this is just another face of the sigh of frustration that I have voiced so often by now:



WE ARE TOO MANY.



Its all way too big, too many, too much.
