    Sadly I think that you are wrong here. More division and no working government would at least be a sign that there is a healthy chunk with brains left. Instead we get totally idiotic populists in power because propaganda victims are the majority and calling th shots (well, not actually, but they are too stupid to realize how the people they elect are working against them anyway).

      no working government.

      Careful what you wish for. No Government usually leads to utter chaos, and I’m not so optimistic about human nature. And none of the problems you care for would be resolved. Check for extreme examples Haiti, South-Africa, Myanmar etc.

        I don’t actually “wish” for it. But it’s the better alternative to the fascist C*U+AfD coalition based on populism and culture war bullshit we are right now aiming for.

        And why go so far to find extreme examples around the world? When you can also look at the usual state of government in Belgium, a close European neighbour…

          I imagine that you saying it was more figurative, probably. You were refering to the actual Politics and not the Administration perse. I think I took your remark too literal, and therefore chose examples of countries of not having a working Gvement.
