Yiwu - Maybe there was a time when people here were pleased that their vote would elect someone to represent them. This is much less so the case today. Yes, our vote elects, but representation is another matter. We have little voice in determining who the candidates will be (money has a very large voice), and once elected our "representatives" seem to serve private interest groups and their own agendas much more than they serve us. Much the same can be said for those working in government who were not elected.
