Obviously 'conflicting control', euphamistically called 'power sharing'
is an unworkable absurdity. Afghanistan's disputerd elections 'talks'
about copying this disaster from Kenia and Zimbabwe.

Apparently the close election of US GWB led to the subsequent resentment
and split of US society? So a mechanism that avoids national conflict is
good.

What would happen if in Afghanistan, Kenia, Zimbabawe if the disputing looser was
given sole control over some aspect of governance or some geographical region?
An objective means of allocating resources to the controlled-by-the-minority
zone would be needed. So if Kenia's subservient party was given control
of health and education, the resources collected and controlled by the strong
party, would need to be allocated to the weaker party, eg. at the same budget
percentage as 'previously'.

In Afghanistan eg. the 2nd party could be given governance of a province/s
where they had the most support. The idea is to allow the 2nd party to compete
by *PERFORMANCE*, against the dominant party, and thereby have the opportunity
to prove themselves to the electorate.

In S.Africa [and apparently to a lesser degree in Mexico] where the education
system is held to ransom by the teacher's union, which must mean continuing
degeneration of the nation for decades ahead, it would be difficult to implement
this policy eg. to the western cape province, where the opposition party's
strength is, because of the inertia of the educational structures.
I.e. you can't just replace the rotten/corrupt teachers over night.
OTOH, perhaps replacing the worst ones would provide some shock effect, to
immediately improve outcomes ?
And already, education policy is/was said to be provinicially controlled.

Of course the corrupt long-time incumbents would oppose such a scheme;
but when the non-functioning state is fed by donor nation/s, this scheme would be
better than supporting the Kenia, Zimbabwe type farce.
