Republics are the worst form of government, for every representative can be bribed. Those who are honest get very frustrated, for they will pass rules to prevent anyone from actually even making a motion on the floor. Motions will have to come from Committees. If you do not play nicely, the speaker decides who gets on what Committees. Look at the smirks of the woman behind him, knowing nothing will change.
Here, Mike Bost is frustrated at the corruption in the Illinois House of Representatives. We do not live in a Democracy. The “establishment” is dictated by the Deep State, and far too often, the actual direction of the country is determined by people who are behind the shadows and never stand for election. The head of the European Parliament never stands for election. The head of the EU states appoints the head of the EU Parliament. The people have no say in anything meaningful.
