But the public supports these rules, correct? Hence, you get the politicians you deserve.
If you (and by you, I mean society) didn’t support these rules, they’d promote a counter-culture candidate like Trump, or they’d do something to change the rules. This isn’t the case, because for its failings, people at large like the current system enough to not do anything about it. Those parties in power also have enough support to keep the steady flow of same-y politicians flowing.
It’s not a criticism of you or your country. It’s ultimately a truism of politics that if the system you choose produces poor candidates, your people support poor choices.
