@codinghorror I've long wondered whether anyone has been working on creating a better system and modeling / stress testing it, for whenever this one collapses and people need to create something better to replace it

@codinghorror yeah sadly this system was originally designed to favor individuals rather than parties - which gives little systemic incentive for coalitions. Worse, it turns out that this system is super susceptible to corrup*ahem* influence by deep pocketed entities like corporations.
