We all answer to one Constitution.

2019-01-12 07:38:40 UTC  

Actually, add Greenland to the image above

2019-01-12 07:39:17 UTC  

If there WERE going to be a single world government, I think the US would do best with its constitution.

2019-01-12 07:39:59 UTC  

It is a very good basis that almost everyone would mostly agree upon.

2019-01-12 07:40:01 UTC  

the way it is now, it's not exactly set up for the little guy to have a voice at the head of the country

2019-01-12 07:40:26 UTC  

That will be true for any world government

2019-01-12 07:40:26 UTC  

which is deliberate

2019-01-12 07:40:34 UTC  

State governments are designed to be more immediately answerable

2019-01-12 07:40:52 UTC  

and more tailored for the local population

2019-01-12 07:41:00 UTC  

i get that, but the national government has power over everything, and that can be dangerous

2019-01-12 07:41:09 UTC  

imagine Hillary had gotten in.

2019-01-12 07:41:12 UTC  

No

2019-01-12 07:41:12 UTC  

just for a minute

The GOP Senate and House would gridlock the fuck out of her

2019-01-12 07:41:25 UTC  

by design

2019-01-12 07:41:26 UTC  

There is a clear distinction between authorities

2019-01-12 07:41:39 UTC  

Well, semi-fuzzy

2019-01-12 07:41:40 UTC  

The US approach on that front is for the most gridlock-prone, slow-moving government feasibly possible

2019-01-12 07:41:59 UTC  

Far superior to the Canadian/British monarchist system

2019-01-12 07:42:22 UTC  

take out the monarch part and our system is pretty good at being representative

2019-01-12 07:42:32 UTC  

especially the UK's, where there are no de jure checks against the monarch's power

2019-01-12 07:42:54 UTC  

```In the case of the government being unable to approve a new budget, they should use whatever funds remain from the last budget
```

2019-01-12 07:42:58 UTC  

thoughts?

2019-01-12 07:43:00 UTC  

Removing the monarch part from the Canadian system leaves no supreme executive authority

2019-01-12 07:43:01 UTC  

Mmmmmmmmm yeah..... The Queen can legally take back authority.

2019-01-12 07:43:19 UTC  

The Queen legally has ALL authority in the UK

2019-01-12 07:43:20 UTC  

She is the head of state technically

2019-01-12 07:43:22 UTC  

consensus is the supreme authority

2019-01-12 07:43:32 UTC  

No, the constitution is in Canada

2019-01-12 07:43:47 UTC  

and the constitution only says that the Queen can give Canada its own government if she wants

2019-01-12 07:43:48 UTC  

right now, the Liberals have a majority and they are all puppets, so Justine can get away with anything

2019-01-12 07:44:02 UTC  

or maybe it was the Constitution Act of Canada, I forget which

2019-01-12 07:44:14 UTC  

but the Queen is the supreme executive authority in Canada

2019-01-12 07:44:14 UTC  

if they had a backbone, his own constituents could tell him he's crazy and move against it

2019-01-12 07:44:29 UTC  

essentially, but not really

2019-01-12 07:44:39 UTC  

the consensus is technically

2019-01-12 07:44:51 UTC  

One of the big advantages of the US system is that national party platforms are rarely, if ever, adhered to because every representative is more concerned with their local constituency

2019-01-12 07:44:54 UTC  

Either way, you guys are going to have to pick sides at some point, because it is very clear that zcanada doesn't know how the fuck to avoid being oppressive and tyranical.

2019-01-12 07:45:13 UTC  

we have local reps at a federal level that aren't that far detached from the riding they serve

2019-01-12 07:45:23 UTC  

hence the current arrangement where the vast majority of the country likes their specific representative, but Congress has a really low approval rating because nobody likes anyone ELSE'S representatives
