A comment on Japan adding mandatory programming education to all elementary schools. Parent comment
Any effects of education are swamped by the differences in voting systems. Germany has Mixed-member proportional representation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed-member_proportional_repr...), which leads to a multi-party system.
The US has some variation of first-past-the-post. Especially together with the primary system, this rewards people for pandering to the base.
