This article is two months old by the way.
Another link from !@queermunist@lemmy.ml focusing more on American politics but this one is much older. "The preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.”
Yeah I remember reading that article. I just wanted to find a more recent one to remind people of this.
Edit: I like how accessible the article and video makes it so I am going to put it in the description.
