You could say it's broken. I'd say it doesn't really exist and only ever appeared to when those pulling the levers wanted it to seem that way.

It did exist briefly, but it was swiftly broken and from the very start was just designed poorly (e.g. political parties are basically entirely incompatible with the shitty voting system). It sometimes briefly semi-works before shortly after collapsing again.
