Ultimately though, we keep letting the politicians get away with it.
Say what you like about the French but when they get the shits on with a politician or a stupid government decision, they let their 'elected representatives' know that the people are not happy and if that means blockading the parliament building with trucks then that's what they'll do.
They still try to practise democracy whereas the governments of most other Western nations aren't really democratic, they're capitalist.
