> Society votes for these governments.

It is better to say that society votes. It definitely does, but when every (and I do mean every) politician that gets in power can come right out and say that they won't do anything they promised it is not reasonable to say society voted for the governments they get. Society has governments and society votes, these two are unconnected facts because of an endemic and deeply toxic lack of accountability on the part of politicians. The lies are blatant, so much so that everyone expects them and sees them coming.
