How much worse the shenanigans would be?

Well, I guess congress would approve astronomic spending, taking utmost care to divert as much of it as possible into their own pockets, whilst constantly reassuring the people it's all in their own best interest -- oh wait, that's kind of what's happening right now...

The question is not who should be the figureheads in charge, it is whether an open, honest flow of information is maintained, enabling the people to select appropriate, beneficial representation and, if need be, dispose of disappropriate representation. The crux then becomes if enough people are willing to be responsible citizens, not infantilized pawns safeguarded from thinking by themselves -- as it stands, whether there are remains a question of faith.

And if we lose that, we lose all.
