But that's the thing, that doesn't matter. Because as soon as anyone comes along with a policy of introducing universal basic income, it doesn't matter how entrenched the political establishment are, people will vote for that if they are losing their jobs.
Most countries political systems are not as completely dysfunctional as the US system. It is possible for independence's and new parties to arise provided there is enough support.
