A perfect reply, Thomas, but it is also about misunderstanding. You say the systems are too tight. But you are only talking about the influence the economic powers have over the politicians. Politicians give the economic powers (more or less) what they need. We agree here.

I am pointing where the voters do not have enough power over the political decisions. Voters can therefore not tell the politicians well enough what to tell the economic powers.

The economic powers have full control. The voters have only partial control. Economic powers win. We need to change that, and we do that by tightening things up.

What we need is voters being in control more. We need to bring the balance in a real balance. Voters should be able to influence the politicians at least to the same level the economic powers are able to assert their influence. Today, we do not have that control. We need to control the economic powers better, and we should be able to do that in the voting booths. We need to tie the economic powers to the voters, all voters equally represented.

In short, we need to tighten the systems. The voters need to be given more control. Winner-take-all benefits economic powers. Proportional representation benefits everyone.

Thank you for your reply.
