However broad the distribution of political power in theory is in your country, in fact it not that broad. Large swathes of your population have abdicated themselves from political power (as have large swathes of ours) believing that they are already tacitly denied a part in it, or that any part they play is pointless.

I agree with you, especially on a national level. Too many people feel they are part of the system just because they vote once every four years... and pay taxes.
It's a shame, but I suppose it does limit personal disappointments... and gunfights.
