Reading this topic feels like listening to 80 year olds. Sorry guys. It's not to say i don't agree with you, but it's 100% unproductive to gossip around. If you want to make a difference you should probably consider joining http://www.avaaz.org/ or similar campaigns.

I have yet to see a political/social system that takes into consideration that we are, in fact, humans. We are so easily manipulated when it comes to making decisions that any system relying on humans deciding about their own affairs is bound to, at some point, be faced with corruption. Or somebody gaining power through manipulating people.

Even here in Germany, the thought alone that the people i see on the street have (the main) political influence makes me not want to vote. Elections shouldn't be about manipulating people to vote for you, but this is all it boils down to. Sure, there are people who care about politics and make educated decisions, but the average person doesn't care and happily votes whatever promises the most. Election posters rarely contain any political content here: At best you have a bad pun, at worst you just have "vote xyz" and maybe a picture of a politician. Look into the manifestos of the parties and you see loads of mentions of savings, but good luck finding where anybody wants to save. You can promise anything you want, you're not bound to (even try to) implement it.

We have to deal with the fact that people are just people. The bigger your power, the bigger is moral relativity. More people making decisions = abuse how brains work to manipulate them. Less people = corruption.
