I think it is hard. All their platforms look the same, it's difficult to find their voting records. Even their promises can't be trusted.
And since the candidates you hear the most about tend to be the leaders there's a bias to vote for a party, rather than your representative.
Beyond that issues are often things I'm not particularly knowledgeable about, so I don't know say how bad bringing in pay for healthcare would be for the public system (you've got to read studies to know that shit).
In make believe land I think that only impacted and experts would have a say. So corporate interests wouldn't get quite so much say, and distribution would be better. And farmers would get more say on ag related issues and technical people would get more say on things like DRM... But really that also probably just turn to shit.
It's cool to have someone agree with me so much
