Power plays and threats of chaos. The gilded path to tomorrow’s wealth.
When a system is non responsive to the interests of its members it is because there is no actual mechanism that would translate real interests into the ability to act upon same.
Politics is push and pull, force and deterrence, will and balance, access to the levers and the powers of the state or governing body.
When those who are able to be of governance have allegiance to power coordination responsive to only power plays then power is the interest that gets served. In the vacuum of any shared responsibility for working government power plays are what is left. Power plays and threats of chaos.
The gilded path to tomorrow’s wealth.

Stakeholders votes mean something as long as they are legitimate stakeholders who may actually punish those in their way.

Voters vote as stakeholders in the systems in which they have a voice. They are stakeholders,, participants in the process of turning their opinions and desires into the shape that the system takes.
The process is mechanical. Voters choose people and options that crank the system and let it churn. The nature of the system is what responds to the crank. If a crank churns out means, methods, meanness in line with the pressures of those voting than it works out a reasonable synthesis of their aims.
If the crank just spins wheels and pushes levers that have the built in limitations of shell games and garish fronts then we get the big shows and grand pretenses.
Stakeholders votes mean something as long as they are legitimate stakeholders who may actually punish those in their way.
Ain’t happening here.
