That's why it never happens. They know the second they get kicked out of the party their career is over. Half of their voters wouldn't even know their name, they just voted for the party.

Life’s about choices. I don’t agree with you that someone getting kicked out of a party or leaving a party would be the end of their career though.

Go find a democratic country with a worse system than us. Should be easy. What is there to take for granted? That we created a worse system than every other developed country?

Define democratic country. Russia considers itself a democracy. Do they count?
I never said that our system was perfect or can’t be improved. At the same time though I think some of its warts could easily be addressed by voters holding representatives more accountable. While you may argue that is unlikely to happen, that doesn’t mean it can’t happen or wouldn’t help fix the problem.

We have an absolutely terrible democratic system, we are just luckily a high trust, low corruption society as well so it masks the problems. The idea of prioritizing efficient centralized command in a country this large is asinine.

I’ve already provided an explanation for what I think would help and you just keep coming up with excuses for why things like representatives voting against a party can’t happen even though it absolutely can.
So what is your solution?
