In that they offer you policies you like and policies you don’t like, and they cannot be separated.
I don’t think that’s controversial.

More like cable TV packages.
This is a weakness of all forms of representative democracy, partisan and non partisan alike. I can picture liquid democracy solving this, where you delegate votes on stuff that you dont care about to your preferred MP, but retain your direct vote for bills you do care about. Another, albeit not yet viable, solution discussed on https://plurality.net/ is an AI parliament that summarizes the opinions of the entire voterbase. This type of problem is called Broad Listening (summarizing and grouping a superhuman amount of opinions), and LLMs have the potential to be very good at this. The best solution so far was the system of local MPs but truly effectove broad listening is, obviously, a task that is beyond their abilities/will.
“Broad listening” sounds like a system ripe to be exploited by very loud but minority voices…
IMO if MPs can learn to discern these people, LLMs can too. Not saying the tech is there yet though. The LLMs still need to be treated as dumb tools though and the common sense must come from some sort of human component.
More like cable TV packages. Full of stuff you don’t want, mostly made for and by fools, very expensive.
As in?
You want a party that pushes X and Y, but by voting them, you’re also voting for Z and W, which you might not like.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Only in political systems that were not designed with partisanship in mind and thus became the worse partisan shithole to be conceived.
