Not just adapt but evolve and not rely on any one person or one government to do it.
The truth is, as Carlton eluded to, for the most part, government in its current form is completely unaccountable. Let's be honest, the worst that can happen if a government is completely ineffective is that they don't get elected again. Given that any such government is not actually making change, what is the value of the prime ministership ? Short of dented egos, what is the price of failure ?
This leads us the next problem and again something Carton brought up. So who is going to hold them to account ? Mostly extremist minorities. It very rarely tends to be anyone with reasonable and balanced views that rocks the boat. This is where the change needs to happen. The MAJORITY need to effect change !
