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

2019-09-16 02:15:18 UTC  

But paying them millions is not lit at all

2019-09-16 02:17:28 UTC  

How about Democratizing the monarchy? The regent becomes another elected office, you can only run if nominated by petition, and it is an office for life with the same powers of the current queen. And it gives that stability of monarchy and the protection against it being a family business

2019-09-16 02:18:23 UTC  

Honestly I think it having no term limit could be dangerous
