Well if you consider what it is supposed to do - illusion of choice between Business Candidate #1 & Business Candidate #2, and so on - it works wonderfully.
But then, in the more up-market newspapers on the weekend there were articles about how in our recent federal elections the Labor candidates were coached for weeks on what to say, do, and how to behave in debates. Best of all the writers all thought this was a great thing and couldn't praise it enough, so I guess our democracy is in the toilet too.
