There is a way forward that all should consider, a way used by the ancient Greeks, Romans, and every voting-based society since. The awesome power of the block-vote.
Trust me its a fundamental of all democratic processes, along with lobbying and whips.
But, and its a big butt (hur), we all have to join. We all have to agree. We all have to be active within whichever society it is. We all have to turn up when needed. We all have to vote.
I hate all constituted societies for this simple reason.....democracy is unfair, the bullies always get their way. But, when you use their own rules against them, their house of cards tumbles.
I and another took 'control' of such a society yonks ago using block-voting when a small cabal of influentials were corrupting it. Ooo it was so satisfying watching the horror on their faces when their complaints, sulks, and tantrums came to naught as we were following the rules to the letter.
The only problem is, once started the block-vote needs to be maintained over an extended time so it becomes a war of intrigue, information gathering and pre-emptive strikes.
A bit like running a political party }
