Everyone deserves a say in what their government does and there is no reason why some people should have more of a say than others.

I hate when I have to get back to the economics and ethics factory to crank out another fifty utils and have no time to respond to the simplest questions in my professional domain

It’s not like there’s not ways to model this “regime change” using economics. It’d be easy to create a stochastic median voter game with 50 elections and then ask if the median voter has better policy outcomes after we reweight each state election.

Once you're considering "better" policy outcomes then why restrict your method of achieving them to different forms of elections. If I show that some alternative produces better governance (by your criteria) than electing leaders then surely you would endorse that system, right?

Wow, they measured the statistical correlation between their rating of democracy and GDP per capita? That's some ground breaking work. Now, just explain why anyone should care about GDP per capita "It's what we can measure" Goodhart's law is useful at least.pic.twitter.com/XkCrO10beL
