No system is perfect. There is only the right system needed at the right time. So is the power hierarchy. The power to people is still very weak and it's proven that democracy to vote will never solve the most basic problems toady with ever complex steps and procedures. It's what type of politician involved that matters. The arguments over Pro and Con and comparison is not one luxury those in third world countries can afford. Provide their basic need and they don't care if you are left right or center. Even in US how many % of the voters bother to know their constitution or amendments rights if they don't have legal issues with them, less than 10%. In the end you get a white supremacist as president democratically. Now only stock exchange have milliseconds transactions done across the globe and actually if FB got the guts to let people votes with authentification, the voices of 1B people in the largest social media platform can be heard as the first step. From there you will see how pointless when you see low importance on type of government civic system or political ideology. People just want problems solved and needs provided.
