'allo 'allo!

2019-09-16 01:09:07 UTC  

How are you mate?

2019-09-16 01:13:38 UTC  

Alright. Dealing with a pathological liar in the Xenoi channels.

2019-09-16 01:13:55 UTC  

I don't lie

2019-09-16 01:14:02 UTC  

I tell my truth

2019-09-16 01:14:25 UTC  

Fair call. Can’t see those channels yet but will get there eventually.

2019-09-16 01:23:59 UTC  

the shit going on with the british parliament is reinforcing my belief that the parliamentary system of having the legislature elect/appoint the head of government is shit.

2019-09-16 01:27:03 UTC  

Aight I thought that was obviously facetious but fair enough.

2019-09-16 01:28:25 UTC  

Just prepping the newbies, be prepared to defend your sense of humor. Mostly as practice for when someone genuinely challenges it

2019-09-16 01:28:40 UTC  

Aight I can respect that I guess

2019-09-16 01:29:27 UTC  

Also, get a pfp

2019-09-16 01:30:02 UTC  

Yeah hold on let me find a suitably comedic anime girl. I am after all a basic bitch.

2019-09-16 01:37:44 UTC  

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

RANDOMNPC IS THE GUARDIAN AT THE GATE

2019-09-16 01:38:08 UTC  

He's the baws

St Andrew

Adding to koscheiundying's point, is there a governmental system, current or historic, that doesn't have a single figurehead. Hmmm. Might Google that. I mean obviously the president has limited power but it's interesting.

2019-09-16 01:45:50 UTC  

Andora has co-executives

2019-09-16 01:47:06 UTC  

Oooo

2019-09-16 01:48:02 UTC  

But all I'm really talking about is that the head of government in a democratic system should either be elected by popular vote or indirectly elected like in the US, through a body that doesn't serve some other major governmental/political function

2019-09-16 01:49:48 UTC  

having the legislature appoint the executive is a shitshow waiting to happen, IMO

2019-09-16 01:51:02 UTC  

Very interesting, I didn't know that so thanks for piquing my curiosity

2019-09-16 01:53:56 UTC  

I can see why that might be a problem, the legislative body may well want to influence who gets in based purely from wanting to make their job easier. Is that your primary concern with it?

2019-09-16 01:54:55 UTC  

I think it tips the balance of power too heavily towards the legislature

2019-09-16 01:56:07 UTC  

A lot of the rhetoric about the proroguing is basically "Boris is defying the sovereignty of the parliament" or something to that effect

2019-09-16 01:56:58 UTC  

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
