Thankfully, my country has an advanced and well-thought-out constitution with compulsory voting for all citizens over 18. Changing the constitution of my country requires a “double majority”, meaning any proposed change must win a majority of the popular vote as well as win a majority of the states. If our Prime Minister refuses to follow the will of Parliament, He/She can be removed by the Governor-General and new elections can be called. Elections themselves are overseen by an independent commission who are responsible for organizing polling places, counting votes and setting the electorate borders every 10 years based on census data. Our legal system has it’s own method for choosing judges that is independent of the government, all the way up to our High Court (our version of the Supreme Court).
The result of all of this is that elections in my country are fought over boring stuff, like infrastructure, healthcare and education, and that’s just the way we like it. Pointless distractions like “culture war” nonsense don’t work here. Any politician that tries that stuff will find themselves isolated and ignored by the vast majority of voters.
Don’t you also have a tuckfun of money from the Templars? I may be thinking of the wrong nation, but nothing stabilizes a nation like the backing of a syndicate that doesn’t want its people asking too many questions. The Social Contract double-coked up on black lotus.

Templars? Mate, wrong hemisphere, wrong time period.
I was taking a wild guess. There are a lot of nations with a more robustly democratized government than mine.
