Well, for starters, my main concern/passion is local governance. Where 'politics' as a sport isn't (as much) a factor. (Never mind that I have absolutely no interest in it. It actually turns my stomach.) Where changes by residents over the long-term can effect a groundswell that has knock-on effects at the provincial and federal levels. So while I appreciate the cogency of your observations, for me that area of dialogue is a little academic. However...

However, maybe it all comes down to this sentence:

We the voters are not the 'employers' anymore.

There's nothing stopping things from being changed. Nothing is written in stone. Nothing is immutable.

Unless there's sufficient inertia or disinterest or apathy to make it so.

I find a lot of discussion about our 'political environment' and all its limitations is mired in 'this is the way it is' declarations, accompanied by a shrug. Surely that's not the best we can do.
