Our voters have the choice of picking who gets to pull our leg at our expense for the next 4 to 5 years. Very powerful indeed.

    Yes, but the choice is largely an illusion. It's a bit like reaching into a clogged toilet to pick your favourite turd.

    Yeah but look at Japan. We here have got the same political party (LDP) for like 80 years, no matter what we do. Even when the LDP declared an election "loss", we still got an LDP cabinet. At least literally 90% of the time.
