There are at least 3 things going on in “politics” though. 1) Public discussion about the problems facing society including possible solutions and value debates. 2) Getting the “right” people in the right places so that upcoming problems can be addressed well. 3) People making sure they and theirs get a “fair” share of the pie including making their living through politics.
Unfortunately, the “Whatever the Hell Works” party probably doesn’t do well on that third aspect which probably means it would have a hard time getting and keeping people working for it. Ride a tide of dissatisfaction into power, but then it is really tempting to become just the latest version of the same old politics.
