Bush's crimes make me want a parliamentary system more and more.

[Odin2005]

I'm sick of the Imperial Persidency. A parlimentary system would keep the executive on Congress's leash, unlike the independent, quasi-monarchial position the Presidency is today.

1. I'm with you -- it encourages COMPROMISE ...

something King Asshat and his minions know NOTHING about.

[electropop]

2. I'd settle for a Constitutional Republic

as laid out in the -er- Constitution.

[darkworkz]

5. agreed!! n/t

[AX10]

3. The Presidency was put in place of a monarch.

I agree, parliamentary democracy is much better.

4. Great Britain has a parlimentary system and Blair is still Prime Minister

It's not the system that is totally wrong, but the leaders who are corrupt, spineless, or outnumbered. And it is also us citizens, many of whom don't pay attention to politics and abdicate their responsibilities.

6. At least he's forced to answer questions on the floor

You know, like actually stand up and respond to questions from the loyal opposition.

It has a wonderful "accountability" effect.

[William769]

10. But has it done any good?

[The2ndWheel]

11. It's funny

I don't know the politics of East Westertonville, so some of the wit goes over my head, but yelling and screaming in British accents is always good television.

Awda! Awda! Will my right, honourable friend...

[soothsayer]

12. yeah, it's just all for show (just like our congressional committees)

Lots of gladhanding and backslapping afterwards.

[shenmue]

7. Me too

:thumbsup:

:7

I'd go for it.

:bluebox:

[Warpy]

8. It wouldn't do any good right now

since his party is in control and will never vote no confidence in this sack of shit as long as he keeps dangling more tax cuts in front of them.

[The2ndWheel]

9. You can want all you want

Neither party would do it, end of story. We're lucky we have 2 parties, even if in name only.
