so your nation is incompetent and cant keep its government in order
😉
The parliamentary system is weird. And it’s even weirder in the UK.
I wouldn’t say it’s more democratic that the US.
Disagree. Germany was later than the UK and Russia as well
@Storin Excluding the fact the UK isn't a democracy but a constitutional monarchy.
Actually our government is answerable to people far more than most nations <:PepeLaugh:565528391336329216>
@Sham00e mixed bag
If you don't believe that ask Corbyn <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>
germany has had democratic states since before england existed
Germany is the least democratic in Europe imo
germany wasnt in a united form till late so it shouldnt be counted
same thing with italy, very very old democratic states
the volk law is more important than individual sovereignty
Anyways the argument of "regional representation" is quite braindead
People vote, not land
the thought of people like andrew being able to vote is braindead
If more people live in area x than area y then area x should obviously have a bigger say in the democratic process
yeah is that how that works andrew?
The UK is definitely the most advanced in this regard, but that is probably because we've been pushing it since the days of Magna Carta <:shrug:349342983763656705>
so does that mean that those people should have greater say on for example how the government spends its money?
so does that mean that they have a greater say on where the government allocates its budget?
I call BS on that. IF democracy was enforced in the UK the overwhelming majority of policies/decisions wouldn't have happened.
so does that mean that they can spend more on roads for the cities than in the country?
despite the need of the country being greater?
"Greater say on for example how the government spend its money" this is pointless lmao
NAh Kizza
one of many examples and it shows that literal equal representation is retarded
see the issue is you are thinking direct democracy, direct democracies don't work
Did the majority of the UK vote/support joining the EEC in 1972??
"yeah fuck fixing that bridge, this city street has pot holes that need filling"
<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
You need some form of representation however direct democracy should be invoked on soul or constitutional changing events- ie BRexit
You do realize the citizens don't directly decide the amount of resources being spent on infrastructure development in different areas, right?
you realize that giving more representation to people from cities by definition means the people in rural areas have less representation
Direct democracy is actual democracy. Representative democracy is neither representative nor democracy.
and thus less say in reource allocation right?
No it isn't.
literally how for example state legislatures work
Its weird that you are picking this hill to die on, why dont you study greek democracy then come back to me <:PepeLaugh:565528391336329216>
