I see the elections as nothing more than a strategy used to test the social climate. Social progress is inevitable. The higher ups know this. But it must be done slowly, to prevent uprising (or too large an uprising)

I think you're pretty much correct, but less centralised and/or smaller and/or less corrupt countries really can be democratic: one man, one vote, financially viable without big business sponsorship.

, I really am fiercely opposed to the EU. Not that I think Russia has any business annexing other countries. Though I don't care much about borders, but let people free to choose as they please.
