Modern democracies (electocracies) evolve/change *ONLY* via voting?
Which major "western" democracies avoided "discontinuities" during last
200 years? USA *at federal level* (see "rebelled" CSA states) and UK.
Russia forces Ukrainian "system" to evolve without voting ["suspended" elections].
So yes, voting in a quite few cases "delays" necessary changes.
Do it mean that the balance *must be* negative? Can't any fixes fix it?
There is a huge difference between may/should be (further) improved
and unfixable.
As somebody said:
A _good_ king/emperor is much better (efficient) than democracy.
A bad king/emperor is _MUCH_ worse than (typical) democracy.
How to avoid bad kings/emperors?
