I think two shanks may have been coming back to an earlier point of mine.

Now 'representative democracy' and 'elected dictatorship' are different things, although the latter claims to be the former. My represetative did not represent my views in parliament, nor did the majority of MP's in Parliament represent their consituencies. That's not representative, nor is it democratic.

And the US is more accurately a liberal democracy, not a representative one. Look at the imbalances in the Senate, and the imbalances in the electoral colleges. It aint representative.
