which is obviously a terrible take

2019-09-16 01:57:16 UTC  

Ahoy !

2019-09-16 01:57:36 UTC  

Presumably because democracy is more important than the power of the legislative branch in your opinion?

2019-09-16 01:57:47 UTC  

sort of

2019-09-16 01:58:18 UTC  

legislative and executive power are considered seperate things for a reason

2019-09-16 01:58:31 UTC  

Giving the legislature so much control over the latter isn't a good idea

2019-09-16 01:58:41 UTC  

We need to implement a Social Credit System ASAP

2019-09-16 01:58:56 UTC  

:|

2019-09-16 01:59:04 UTC  

any more than it would be to give the executive tons of power over the legislature

2019-09-16 01:59:39 UTC  

Makes sense, something interesting for me to think about at least

2019-09-16 01:59:51 UTC  

that said, regarding the multiple executive things

2019-09-16 02:00:09 UTC  

actually nevermind

2019-09-16 02:00:17 UTC  

Hahah no worries

2019-09-16 02:01:24 UTC  

eh, whatever

2019-09-16 02:02:06 UTC  

I'd been thinking about a concept for a constitutional monarchy that does a sort of co-executive thing with the monarch and an elected president

2019-09-16 02:02:29 UTC  

not really a serious "I think this is a thing that should be implemented" kind of idea, though

2019-09-16 02:02:52 UTC  

but it does seem like there'd be a couple advantages

2019-09-16 02:03:55 UTC  

I'd say the speeches from this anime can apply to today

2019-09-16 02:05:20 UTC  

Personally I'm bracing myself for an immortal A.I. construct out of San Francisco to just sieze power

2019-09-16 02:05:53 UTC  

Skynet

2019-09-16 02:06:03 UTC  

Or Cortana

2019-09-16 02:06:20 UTC  

It'll be that but funded by Facebook

2019-09-16 02:07:01 UTC  

Although kosch, your idea sounds pretty similar to the uk but I'm guessing with tweaks

2019-09-16 02:07:07 UTC  

Like a Constitution for one

2019-09-16 02:07:28 UTC  

the power would be shared more equally

2019-09-16 02:07:36 UTC  

I know the queen does have power

2019-09-16 02:07:38 UTC  

but it's not a lot

2019-09-16 02:08:09 UTC  

that said, the idea was more based around the american system, so I don't know how well certain things translate

2019-09-16 02:09:32 UTC  

But that's a point though

2019-09-16 02:09:43 UTC  

The UK could really use a written constitution IMO

2019-09-16 02:10:55 UTC  

Far as I'm aware, the "unwritten constitution" is basically just centuries of legal precedent, which doesn't sound like a great thing to hang your entire government on.

2019-09-16 02:12:19 UTC  

Yeah it's easily undone

2019-09-16 02:12:41 UTC  

See: Tommy Robinson, Dankula etc

2019-09-16 02:13:04 UTC  

Imho,they should get rid of the monarchy

2019-09-16 02:13:40 UTC  

Imho yes that too even though I'm rather fond of the queen

2019-09-16 02:14:02 UTC  

That being said

2019-09-16 02:14:38 UTC  

It is pretty cool that the PM has someone to talk to whose seen all heads of government for the last several decades

2019-09-16 02:15:17 UTC  

At least the Japanese Imperial Family is more stable than the British monarchy
