@jeffcliff @haberdasher I don't know if you are aware, but I am a believer in the greek theory of Kyklos, that forms of government follow a flow. If you like democracy, I would suggest that a situation where a massive amount of the population is ignored and actively denigrated is not a good sign for the stability of the franchise.

As the military recruiting problem in the US and UK point to, conservative people are giving up on their governments.
