This section briefly examines the political systems that we know, looking at their strengths and weaknesses. This is mainly a mental exercise to clarify how political systems currently work (or do not).
Most Western governments have some form of democracy. What does this mean, and how do different systems compare?
Could the best system be improved? If so, why? Also, how sure can you be that it can, and where could we begin?
