Discussionator -

Opinion

If the governments of the world followed the beliefs of any single Discussionator user, it would be a disaster.

It's easy to think that we could all do a better job of running things, but it's not really possible to have a government where a single person makes every decision - and even if you did there's no single right answer to every choice. We all think we have an answer to everything that would work best, and maybe sometimes we're better than the real government, but in practice each decision has unintended consequences or unexpected costs. Any mistakes are quickly picked up on by the media / populace and you end up looking like a villain.

But I (for one) would HATE to live in a country under your SOLE control, hence me saying it has to be collaborative. And I'm sure you would hate to trample on my beliefs, me being the smallest minority and all that...
