Dante v Gump: Constitutional Republic v Parliamentary Democracy
Which is better suited for a nation like the USA; the system we now use, or one like our formerly, criminal cousins from the back of beyond use? Would the USA function better, and would we Americans like it better, if we used a system similar to what Wikipedia describes as a "federal parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy."?
We have here at USMB (not Australia Beyond the Backwoods) a member who I suppose is arrogant and pompous enough to lecture the USA on how we could do it better.
I bring you Dr Gump

Isn't it strange
in life that when a person can pick several candidates to do a job - any job - there are certain people that will pick the least qualified or worst person, to do the job.
Life is curious...
Why is your voting such
a fucking mess? Not talking about the EC etc, but the actual process of voting. Saw a doco on it last night. I actually felt sorry for you guys. No wonder some of you guys are so cynical about fraud etc. And why 2000 was so contentious....
