I have kept the above arguments in general, rather abstract, terms, since they are not simply about the details of our current political situation. But they clearly apply very directly to what is going on now. I have written two essays showing the connection. [Unger-Wake][Unger-Heads].
In addition to the problem treated here, there are a number of other problems that are seriously eroding our political system. These include campaign finance, e-voting systems, the plurality voting system (which greatly exacerbates the problem treated in this article), the electoral college, and gerrymandering. These are briefly discussed in another article. [Unger-Fix]
