I will say though, the u.s is a bad example when talking the direct impacts a person has on their government, in my opinion.
For example, in Ireland there is often coalitions between parties.
As well as that, you vote for whatever representatives you want in your area, then those representatives nominate and vote for whichever candidate they want to be the taoiseach (prime minister).
The graph kinda reminded me of it.
Fair enough about the US, I use it because it’s the closest in economic size and presense on the global stage, and is often seen as “the Capitalist state.” Ireland does sound better than the US, democratically. China has a similar process, though not the same as the Soviet Union, as the CPC has 96 million members and China in general 1.4 billion people, so it needs its own systems.
That sounds interesting, I’ll take a look.
