Democratic capitalism (capitalism + democracy) alongside a strong and efficient social welfare system is what I personally adhere to.

Are you sure?
No.
Also no, although closer. Read again. Slowly. I know you are a USian so I am trying to be as clear as possible: it is called “civil service”. Works in democratic civilised countries, so obviously not in the USA which is neither.
You seem to have an incredibly large amount of trust in your government. For your benefit, I’ll assume this is rooted in naivety. Your government does not work for your benefit. A government is made of individuals who are people, just like everyone else. They’re responsive to incentives, just like everyone else. And when someone has power and authority, their incentive is to maintain this power at all costs. This has been true in all countries and all governments throughout history. Yours is no different.
Create the power to control who is allowed to vote and give it to the people in charge of the government and they WILL use it to maintain their power.
You can go on and on about how noble your civil service is, but it’s all bullshit. It’s staffed by normal people, just like every institution is. They react the same as people always have.
You still didn’t read slowly, did you? 🤣 Try again. And again. And again.
Edit: or maybe it is just the place you are from, all USians I interact with are weird, delicately saying.
I think you are incapable of forming a response to my very valid criticism of your ill-conceived idea. You keep resorting to the same baseless claim that your system would simply be immune to corruption without ever actually giving a reason why or a method to prevent corruption. The US isn’t the only corrupt government on the planet. All of them are. Every single one.
You act like that since I’m from the US I’m somehow incapable of understanding complex ideas? Yet you yourself are incapable of giving a response. I assume based on your focus on Brexit that you’re from the UK? Are you seriously suggesting that the UK government is hyper-capable and incorruptible? Really?
Try having a conversation like an adult. Why do you not believe that your poll test would be subject to corruption? What mechanism would you include to prevent it? Just claiming that it wouldn’t because it’s not in the US isn’t an argument. It’s an admission that you have no clue what you’re talking about.
Your words not mine but essentially, yes. You have been brainwashed. All of you have been brainwashed and stopped caring about facts and truths.
Trump is a symptom, not a cause.
Yet again, you refuse to respond to criticism. Try doing something other than insulting me.
