This, “How American politics went insane” in The Atlantic by Jonathan Rauch is the MOST interesting political article I’ve read in years, and it has broad application to the chaos of Australian politics, too. I don’t agree with it all.. but it’s right about many, many aspects and it’s a difficult conclusion to sit with. Thrillingly challenging.
Parties, machines and hacks may not have been pretty, but at their best they did their job so well that the country forgot why it needed them.
