Now is time for the "well, if we don't develop it first, the bad guys will" superpower to show itself off, I guess.

It's not too much different to the chinese democracy. There isn't even a direct democracy

If we had a more representative electoral system, more of the non voters would be engaged by the political process. More voters always has lead to more democratic votes.

Why is the democratic party saying no to these easy extra votes when they fail to replace First Past the Post voting in states they control between elections?

"We won it last time! Why change now? Besides, proportion representation only leads to more parties and that'd mean we'd have to... cooperate."

Heaven forbid we would have to compromise instead of ramming legislation only we like through to pass.

I hope our future dictators are handsome or beautiful and that they come with nice body parts, so when we have to suck their dicks, we can at least enjoy it.
