Their true colors were (again) revealed during the last couple of years for all to see.

And this is just the surface. Great effort has been used to make these democratic processes seem as realistic as possible. I don't enjoy being 'the negative Nancy' here but understanding that all of the current power structures and systems are unworkable as a basis for positively polarising society complex is quite important in my opinion.
