The dysfunction makes it very difficult for the West to focus analysis and resources on anything of importance.
The Western political class is only dysfunctional if you believe its proper function is the betterment of its people.
Its own idea of its function is to amass more power to rule its people more and more completely, and in that sense it is very, very functional.
