So, according to a survay done in Germany, which I found out about here, Germans are disillusioned with their democracy. As is I think everyone else I know. So, where do you stand?

The thing that upsets me the most is that no matter how many times people vote for something and it passes, the officials will always find some loophole to overturn it, so we end up seeing the same issue on the ballots just a few years later. More and more, I feel as though my vote doesn't even matter.

Also, I can't stand how winning votes seem to go to the highest bidder. I wish that money had far less influence in campaigning.

Yeah, we don't get to vote on individual propositions here so we don't get that quite so much in our faces. The money thing drives me nuts too - I'd like to have state funding for parties here but I don't think there's much chance of it.
