    No, there is a crisis in democracy. Policy is locked up, meaningful change is nigh impossible, or at least much too slow. We’ve seen similar issues everywhere. We’re in a poly crisis world and difficult, complex and very costly decisions need to be made. We can no longer compromise ourselves out of this. Current laws and structures are not able to achieve this. People see this and are fed up. Extremism can feel like the only way out. I’m severely disappointed but I can understand where these voters are coming from. I don’t blame them, I’m not angry, I don’t think they (the vast majority) are bad people, I don’t even believe they necessarily made the wrong decision. I just had hoped we could make much better decisions.
