The game has been rigged.
Voting exists to stop you changing things.
It makes you believed you solved the problem
when you’ve actually accomplished nothing yet
The voting is game is lost before it began
with psychometric micro demographic targetting
they can convert money into votes with simple manipulation
it’s just a matter of which money interest push more
on their preferred option
but neither of the two choices is on your side
None of the choices in democracy are working for you
Yes there are many choices, very similar degrees of ultimately the same thing. Same thing here in Canada.
Often it’s the business elite party and the “business elite but pretending to care about the people’s interest party” and that second one is also split so the straight up business elite party has a chance to win. Followed by series of do-nothing statistically insignificant, flavour-text parties just for the impression of diversity. It’s all a little circus to give you the idea the population is in control while being completely out of the equation. It only really serves to dissipate their frustration and make them believe they’ve already done everything they could so we don’t get guillotines in the streets.
Make no mistake Fukuyama is right, this IS the end of history, there will not be any democratically elected changes unless the powerful decide change is in their interest and will maintain or increase their power.
Nothing will change until the power is physically taken away from them and history restarts.

So main issue with this comment is the UK system allows for more than 2 choices.
