How are you mate?

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

I don't lie

I tell my truth

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

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.

Aight I thought that was obviously facetious but fair enough.

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

Aight I can respect that I guess

Also, get a pfp

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

RANDOMNPC IS THE GUARDIAN AT THE GATE

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.

Andora has co-executives

Oooo

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

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

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

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?

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

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

which is obviously a terrible take

Ahoy !

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

sort of

legislative and executive power are considered seperate things for a reason

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

We need to implement a Social Credit System ASAP

:|

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

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

that said, regarding the multiple executive things

actually nevermind

Hahah no worries

eh, whatever

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
