Look, we all know in the US, parties will change their position and competency over time due to the influx of new members and history changing events. Unless something extremely terrible happens which forces desperation, I hardly think people will choose a authorian political system (who makes false or radical promises to gain popular support) over a free one. Short of being invaded, not all political systems collapse from incompetent leadership.


You're saying that there is such a thing as a political system which is immune to collapse due to inside pressure. If you can actually find such a system and show that this is true, then I'll pay for your ticket to Stockholm, Mr Nobel Prize winner. But, that's a check I probably won't have to cash. You're probably just naive.


 I'm saying in a modern society we have today, it's near impossible for a political system to collapse just because you get several incompetent leaders in row. You point, I believe. The US has had a stable political system for over 200 years now, and survived past the Great Depression, an era ripe for instability and you're telling me if more incompetent leaders emerge after bush, we'll be seeing a new form government. You're too cynical, man.
