@elduvelle @Nadinabbott I think the central idea @adron was communicating is that this question and response spectrum is not sensitive to government structures with many layers. What is right for one layer may be the opposite of what is right for another layer. If two adjacent layers attempt to deliver on the same values they can each make it more difficult for either to succeed due to very high coordination & communication costs. A preface like "In national elections..." would have helped.
