i had no idea

2018-07-07 04:25:33 UTC  

yea Senate is more prestigious so its longer

2018-07-07 04:25:43 UTC  

but 2 years for house fucks them over

2018-07-07 04:26:12 UTC  

makes no sense

2018-07-07 04:26:40 UTC  

thats why if term limits where implemented the House would get more terms while the Senate would still get longer ones to maintain prestige

2018-07-07 04:27:17 UTC  

this November we have Senate and House Elections

2018-07-07 04:27:33 UTC  

however not all Senators are up for election

2018-07-07 04:27:39 UTC  

In sweden the general elections are held every 4th year...
4 year terms, works quite ok

2018-07-07 04:27:49 UTC  

so some are just running elections for one incumbent

2018-07-07 04:28:36 UTC  

Pres has 4 year term and can only be Pres. for 2 terms

2018-07-07 04:29:00 UTC  

Supreme Court Justices are in for life

2018-07-07 04:29:04 UTC  

or retirement

2018-07-07 04:29:17 UTC  

we have no term limits and no president. The natinal parliament elects the primeminister after a general election is held

2018-07-07 04:29:31 UTC  

Luckily our Constitution prevents shit like what Putin does in Russia

2018-07-07 04:30:01 UTC  

parliamentary "representative" democracy is yours i think

2018-07-07 04:30:16 UTC  

yes

2018-07-07 04:30:24 UTC  

however we are also a monarchy

2018-07-07 04:30:33 UTC  

We are called a republic and democracy interchangably

2018-07-07 04:30:42 UTC  

so like the UK?

2018-07-07 04:30:48 UTC  

but in difference to the UK the swedish monarch holds no power

2018-07-07 04:30:55 UTC  

ah

2018-07-07 04:31:04 UTC  

UKs holds very little

2018-07-07 04:31:14 UTC  

so yours is entirely ceremonial?

2018-07-07 04:31:19 UTC  

Yes

2018-07-07 04:31:33 UTC  

can they run for office?

2018-07-07 04:31:36 UTC  

Alot of taxmoney for some cermonies and representation though

2018-07-07 04:31:37 UTC  

no

2018-07-07 04:31:39 UTC  

k

2018-07-07 04:31:52 UTC  

so they are the face

2018-07-07 04:31:55 UTC  

the Monarch must not interfere with the political system

2018-07-07 04:31:55 UTC  

essentially

2018-07-07 04:31:59 UTC  

good

2018-07-07 04:32:00 UTC  

partially

2018-07-07 04:32:23 UTC  

the king represents the nation only within certain events and occations

2018-07-07 04:32:25 UTC  

i think UK the monarchy can influence but not make decisions

2018-07-07 04:32:29 UTC  

yea

2018-07-07 04:32:46 UTC  

Swedish royal history has some badass moments btw

2018-07-07 04:32:51 UTC  

it does

2018-07-07 04:33:03 UTC  

it also has it's stains of blood

2018-07-07 04:33:06 UTC  

def

2018-07-07 04:33:23 UTC  

just like our democracy has it's history of race biology..
