push democracy too long and what happens?

2019-10-17 22:29:45 UTC  

look at france

2019-10-17 22:29:58 UTC  

for the past 200 years they've been through how much civil unrest

2019-10-17 22:30:21 UTC  

You push a democratic republic

2019-10-17 22:30:21 UTC  

the reason they collapsed in WW2 was for that very reason, no one wanted to fight for the broken government

2019-10-17 22:30:38 UTC  

An actual democracy fails

2019-10-17 22:30:49 UTC  

But a republic is what actually survives

2019-10-17 22:31:00 UTC  

The biggest question on my mind is

2019-10-17 22:31:00 UTC  

british constitution is the most stable in history

2019-10-17 22:31:11 UTC  

You say that

2019-10-17 22:31:13 UTC  

Why are the politicians pushing for this

2019-10-17 22:31:31 UTC  

Brits failed because they didn't codify it

2019-10-17 22:31:58 UTC  

Americans took it and actually said "You really can't fuck with this easily"

2019-10-17 22:32:02 UTC  

that's the difference between british and germans, british are adaptive, germans are hard coded

2019-10-17 22:32:13 UTC  

^

2019-10-17 22:32:17 UTC  

I agree

2019-10-17 22:32:56 UTC  

american system rests on a knife edge because one tyranical governemtn and it's civil war

2019-10-17 22:33:06 UTC  

Which is why it works

2019-10-17 22:33:19 UTC  

It forces the government to actually do it's fucking job

2019-10-17 22:33:27 UTC  

Or we purge it in blood

2019-10-17 22:33:47 UTC  

the british constitution avoids the civi war, simply public opinion will sway towards parliament or monarch, after which the losing side will have to concede

2019-10-17 22:33:52 UTC  

I believe the two major reasons for the public voting for brexit were anti immigration and so the Eu can’t change our laws

2019-10-17 22:33:54 UTC  

it won't explode into war

2019-10-17 22:34:06 UTC  

although, saying that, there was the spanish civil war...

2019-10-17 22:34:08 UTC  

And fuck the krauts

2019-10-17 22:34:19 UTC  

which had a similar dual government to britain at the time

2019-10-17 22:34:26 UTC  

Always fuck over the krauts

2019-10-17 22:34:28 UTC  

hmm..

2019-10-17 22:34:35 UTC  

Well, back to work

2019-10-17 22:34:51 UTC  

Dual monarch doesn’t sound like that bad an idea

2019-10-17 22:35:17 UTC  

Parliament and monarch that is

2019-10-17 22:35:55 UTC  

@S K E L L Y Ivanthenotsoterrible I think there was a multitude of reasons, mostly anti-status-quo, anti-immigration, pro-labour, sovereignty, anti-EU-federalisation

2019-10-17 22:36:12 UTC  

Yeah but they were the two main

2019-10-17 22:36:37 UTC  

@Edelgard von Hresvelg its been a pleasure

2019-10-17 22:36:51 UTC  

Cherrio

2019-10-17 22:37:08 UTC  

Like what the Romans did

2019-10-17 22:37:38 UTC  

Whenever they were having a bad time they’d elect a dictator to basically fix their country

2019-10-17 22:38:01 UTC  

those may have been, but its clear parliament has no intention of fulfilling those desires.

2019-10-17 22:38:53 UTC  

with regards to Romans, I'm no fan of their system, it may have been the longest civilisation in recorded history but I have my doubts

2019-10-17 22:40:11 UTC  

although I'm not read enough, ask me about the british or umiyads and I can tell you a fair amount

2019-10-17 22:41:38 UTC  

but parliament electing a dictators sounds like a bad idea, dictators have to be de-facto and from the public
