I can’t agree with this idea. The point of government IS to come up with solutions to potential problems (other governments, crime, paying for “public goods”, expanding the freedom of the individual pledging loyalty to the government, protection from the “state of nature”), through a variety of tools, including coercion. The government exist not in and of itself, but exist to produce certain “outcomes” which will favor or harm specific interests.
If we can’t talk about what a future government is actually going to do, then what’s the point of changing to it?
