All around the world governments have been bought by the corporate elite. The USA is merely the prime example. If citizens just concentrate on individual flaws in the system they will never get around to considering the 'elephant in the room' - the political system itself.

I term our various versions of political system in 'The West' as being a feudal democracy, where the few (politicians) rule over and control the many (citizens). This type of political structure is hierarchical in nature and allows the few to be bought and controlled by the super elite, and where the citizens have absolutely no opportunity to CONTROL the politicians.

These political systems are NOT democratic and have never been so.

The major flaw - feudal democracy - has to be tackled if we are ever going to have a political system which is actually organised for the benefit of the citizens. Here's a list of my blogs trying to shed light on the political system itself. www.lougogan.com/politics/blog-list.php

The fact is that the ruling feudal elite are very organised and have a set agenda. Citizens need to understand the problem and be as, or more, organised - and even more determined, that they will not remain as serfs. 'They' are the few and we are the many but if the many don't start to think - OUTSIDE THE BOX - we will lose the battle.
