Respectfully, politicians you don't like gaining power isn't evidence of the system buckling.

The other issues aren't exactly unconcerning, but I think we have to acknowledge that this is a quite peaceful time. For most of history, what we call "unrest" was the status quo, and there were in addition wars of open territorial conquest which are nearly extinct today.

If you believe:

- Continued urbanization is essential to growth as we know it

- Non-urban voters are less attuned to what cities need to grow

Then regardless of political ideology, our disticts + FPTP method of growing makes non-negligible growth of the real economy very difficult.
