Really appreciate the commentary and thoughts! Few comments:

1. > Those who want to establish a new government always say “This time it will be better” but are almost never right. -- I disagree with this. Our institutions today, considered in any long aec of history, are better, at least eventually.

2. A microcosm of this might be corporate reorgs, which provide both positive and negative insights, though at least proves reorgs and shaking up need not be fatal or detrimental to legitimacy. Accenture is one that's done this to grart effect.

3. Most long standing institutions do evolve. They change their mandate, their charter, their methods and more. I'm just suggesting they also add their own setups to that mix. I admit there are practical problems aplenty, but I'm not convinced it's a legitimacy crisis.
