6. to form a government in a parliamentary system you need to have a majority

In Sweden, for instance, you have very few cases of MPs crossing over once the government is formed in numbers large enough t make a difference. The exception, of course, is if there is a successful vote of no confidence.

The US Constitutional system is riddled with long wave Constitutional ticking time bombs (the Electoral College for one, with the very nature of the US Senate for another instance, where soon only 30% of the population will control 70% of the seats, with that 30% far whiter, more reactionary, poorer, less educated, far more RW, more fundie religious, more homophobic, more racist, more misogynistic, etc than the 70% who will only control 30% or so of the seats) that make its systemic collapse more and more likely as the decades (a couple of centuries in some cases) have played out.
