So, a representative democracy, like we have in the US. But hasn’t it been shown that elected leaders do not actually represent the people, just their own interests?
As an example, the mayor of my town has approved the funding for thousands of new homes, destroying the natural surroundings in the process. No one likes it except the builders. She’ll be mayor next reelection. She’ll continue to enjoy lavish dinners and vacations paid for by the construction companies.
Honest question. How do we trust the state? For example: the state determines we need more coal/oil power plants and no solar energy.
because you elect your representative,if they dont what you want we put somebody else there.
you cant do that with any private company in the world, you can do that with a government.
