The Political System as It Is, and What to Do About It

Bcas: I think everyone agrees there's something less than optimal about our system as it exists. And this is the heart of my book. The deeper i got into the machinery,. so to speak, the more disappointing it was that people will do what their incentives demand. If you are a political figure to day, your incentives are to generally cater to the most polarized and extreme points of view in voters in your district. In one numerical contrast i sight is that congress has a 28 % approval rating nation wide right now.
