push democracy too long and what happens?
look at france
for the past 200 years they've been through how much civil unrest
You push a democratic republic
the reason they collapsed in WW2 was for that very reason, no one wanted to fight for the broken government
An actual democracy fails
But a republic is what actually survives
The biggest question on my mind is
british constitution is the most stable in history
You say that
Why are the politicians pushing for this
Brits failed because they didn't codify it
Americans took it and actually said "You really can't fuck with this easily"
that's the difference between british and germans, british are adaptive, germans are hard coded
^
I agree
american system rests on a knife edge because one tyranical governemtn and it's civil war
Which is why it works
It forces the government to actually do it's fucking job
Or we purge it in blood
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
I believe the two major reasons for the public voting for brexit were anti immigration and so the Eu can’t change our laws
it won't explode into war
although, saying that, there was the spanish civil war...
And fuck the krauts
which had a similar dual government to britain at the time
Always fuck over the krauts
hmm..
Well, back to work
Dual monarch doesn’t sound like that bad an idea
Parliament and monarch that is
@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
Yeah but they were the two main
@Edelgard von Hresvelg its been a pleasure

Like what the Romans did
Whenever they were having a bad time they’d elect a dictator to basically fix their country
those may have been, but its clear parliament has no intention of fulfilling those desires.
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
although I'm not read enough, ask me about the british or umiyads and I can tell you a fair amount
but parliament electing a dictators sounds like a bad idea, dictators have to be de-facto and from the public
