If this is true, whence all the talk about democracy being the "best" system in the world?
If you cannot see the difference between a regime with a winning coalition of, e.g., one-in-two (in a directly contested presidental election) and a winning coalition of, e.g., one-in-ten thousand (like North Korea's rigged system), then you are an idiot.
Yes, and I disagree with it.
You are an idiot. Bueno de Mesquita's work clearly demonstrates that democracy is exactly the same shit sandwich as dictatorship -- the institutional dimensions are identical (which is the whole point of my initial post) -- but merely a lot smaller, and with more bread and less shit.
