In a way political discourse is like that, but the problem is everyone pretends that the parties who are stake holders and their relative positions of importance are vastly skewed. Like the need for politicians to be re-elected, the need to keep their donors happy, the need to do something media worthy to get more donors, and also all the business interests threatening to pull donations if the politicians don’t do what they want.

Ultimately that’s why I’m so for both term limits and monetary election reform. We can’t have yearlong elections for house terms that only last 2 years.
