Something does not add up in current Canadian politics…

Tom Flanagan and Stephen Harper once wrote:

“In today’s democratic societies, organizations share power. Corporations, churches, universities, hospitals, even public sector bureaucracies make decisions through consultation, committees, and consensus-building techniques. Only in politics do we still entrust power to a single faction expected to prevail every time over the opposition by sheer force of numbers. Even more anachronistically, we persist in structuring the governing team like a military regiment under a single commander with almost total power to appoint, discipline, and expel subordinates.”

But now we’re living through this?

I think something doesn’t quite add up here, do you?
