This is a great leap forward. Scientific methods were used, so that makes it official. Now we can say it without being accused of being Commies, hippies, or conspiracy theorists.

Hmm, a representative republic that's actually an oligarchy. Sounds like one of the most common forms of government on Earth. Russia comes to mind, but there's also Sudan, Kazakhstan, Central African Republic, Myanmar, Ethiopia, Syria, etc. etc.

I don't think the American political system can ever achieve what it was meant to do. Because, the way it is set up, only a person with an extremely competitive and ethically compromising personality can ever become President. In other words, the people who fall outside of the usual standards of the community's norms are the ones who are best-equipped to become President. Basic wisdom says that cannot endure indefinitely.

To a lot of political philosophers, the goal is to have both freedom and equality. Both desirable, but unfortunately they're somewhat mutually exclusive of each other. Pure freedom becomes social Darwinism, and eventually no equality. Pure equality requires regulating behaviors, and therefore limiting the individual's freedom.
This freedom-equality thing became a topic after the big financial collapses around 2007. It seemed like the "freedom" countries such as (the U.S. and U.K.) suffered from the crisis more than the more "equality" countries (such as France and Germany).

Isn't that a media company in a country that still has a Monarchy and hereditary nobility? absaloutly correct Britain is not nor never has been a democracy .. its a constitutional monarchy and the findings were published by a publicly owned division of the government with left leaning liberal views always has been ..always will be . It even has its own government minister to oversee it .......... so yes your totally correct in the assumption that what the bbc report is biased and has been proved so on countless occasions . the bbc runs to its own agenda and has been cought out on more than one occasion over the last couple of years .
