Very interesting for us Americvans how other hybrid of local cultures
conceptualizes representative democracy. We tend to overstress direct
voting as the defining feature of democracy ( plusd others) but they
strive that multiparty system elects one and than consolidates the
rest.

We polarize our political system in Madison style - it is not just
lack of personal culture that candidacts in teh last stage lunch
invectives - it is like that polarization process took over and run
over. I do not see this polarization healthy. But I do not see how we
can switch to representative democracy ( that we expect of other
countries) either because how ingraned is the polarization pattern.

A lot  more to check in this area. Amongst these - how Europeans do
with emrging the representative top without polarizing everything,
everybody and every word. I am personally curious what so great in
wahat they do, and how ios that easier there and are there advantages
in comparison with us.
