What single work of creation would you remove from the world?

That reminds me. Haiku poetry, over-rated nonsense, it has got to go.

You're a syllable short. "It's over-rated nonsense" would scan.

Democracy as we know it (which for the most part is self serving) the two/three party pantomime where every 4 or so years the new government trashes a lot of what the previous government had done, simply because it doesn't suit their ideology. We've stood still with this system...or at least not progressed anywhere near as much as we could with true co-operation.

Your issue seems to be with the voting system rather than democracy.
I agree that FPTP needs to go.
