Still, it is the result of a (deeply ) flawed system; not system that has been broken.

I see what your saying SB and agree with most of it to some extent, however to
achive that kind of idealistic democracy would require vast ammounts of reform to the
bedrock of government, if not revolution.

I hope one day improvements are made to the democratic system common to most of
Europe, but I would be very suprised if they are.

I become less and lesser hesitant to welcome that, while my conviction is hitting the tops that reforms are impossible. And now, while I agree that the systemn is flawed, I disagree that nothing got broken. The flawed system additional gets broken, too, not only in this example, but everyday. The whole contemporary political culture (or anticulture) is living proof for that.

I understand wuite well, why in Rome they sometimes opted for most drastic actions to chnage the structure of the empire, republic, or whatever it was at the given point of time. and one must admire the courage, sometimes.
