On (1), I’m not currently considering any existing institutions, other than existing variants of the proposals mentioned. You’re right that it would be useful to know which institutions we should preserve, and there also might be other things to learn from analyzing these institutions, such as what has worked well about them and what has kept them from working better. I’ll have to consider adding these sorts of institutions.
On (2), that’s definitely of concern to me in light of the fact that so many recently-adopted future-focused institutions have not been able to survive even one election cycle. I’ve been including this (the permanence of the institution) under effectiveness, but maybe it’s worth graining the categories a bit more finely.
Thanks!
