  1. Just 2 tiers is enough. Those that want to follow and have EU laws enforced by a european police and switch to a stronger federation can be part of the EFU, while others can remain part of the EU. The EFU members can then withdraw from the EU and essentially remove the baggage (eg Hungary and poland).

  2. As a Finn (you, not me), might I ask as to why the finns party is racist, according to the host? He talks about replacement theory, which im not familiar with, but can use context clues that it's about immigrants replacing native ethnic finns. My question in that is, how is that replacement theory invalid or racist? For example, if I have a cup of coke and slowly pour in Dr pepper, when does the coke cease being coke and become more of a Dr pepper? And even if new coke is dripping into the coke cup, it's not fast enough to keep the Dr pepper pouring in from replacing the coke. Apologies if controversial, I am genuinely curious. Thank you. 😌🇯🇵

  3. And the commission shall be replaced by a supreme chancellor. And the EU parliament and council shall be combined into a single senate with floating chairs.😅

  5. A confederation of independent states (CIS) kinda still exists in some of the former soviet bloc.

  6. @Seth9809  The cabinet in the US is powerless. What the president says goes. If the secretary or secretaries don't like it, they resign. At least in the parliamentary system, especially with proportional representation, multiple party leaders can force the prime minister to drop something or they'll threaten to resign, which threatens the PM's job.

  10. @TheDCbiz  It's a backdoor to creating a new EU with safeguards for human rights and more oversight (eg federal european police with arresting authority).

  11. @Tenvalmestr  Guess that's why sweden, denmark, UK, new zealand, Norway, etc have all switched to semi presidential systems 😂

  12. Democrats are technically centre right, not left. Bernie is an outlier. America has no viable left wing party

  13. ​@elfrjz J as "y" sound is from medieval Latin, which had replaced the earlier I. And since Europe was mostly Christian, and the Catholic Church used Latin... Jesus was pronounced as yay-sœs, for example. Spanish went a different route to get the h for j.

  14. Exactly. Nothing says democracy like giving more power to the executive. "I love democracy" (insert smiling palpatine). The 6th republic would do well as a parliamentary system or even better as a Swiss federal system with each of its 18 regions (or each of its 96 smaller regions called departments) becoming semi-sovereign cantons with the federation of France. The 7 member collective executive council couldn't fire each other and would be comprised of leaders from different parties and regions. The symbolic presidency of the council would rotate. Each canton would mirror this too.

  17. I think the issue is the govt has no money for us citizens, but it can magically have some for another country. That's where people get angry. Perhaps the uk and the EU should set up a pay review body that says its independent but not really and have a cap on what they offer. "I'm sorry, Mr President. The independent pay review body has determined we cannot give you anymore funding. It's not us, it's their judgement." Works for everybody else.

  24. ​@TimeMakerDotPH If the national Assembly were 100 members or even 50 members, you could use natural threshold (1% and 2%, respectively). Personally, I think more choice is better, as long as the politicians know to play well together. Maybe the Swiss system can allow both. For comparison, the Swiss Federal Assembly (both houses of parliament) have 11 different parties represented. 4 of those are represented in the federal council (collective executive).

  25. When did the Americans have a viable left wing party? The democrats (outside of bernie and a few others) would be called Conservatives in the rest of the world.

  26. @hungrymusicwolf  Exactly. The us is the only country to use that form of govt that hadn't devolved to dictatorship at some point in its history.

  27. Also, the euro council and commission are pulling double duty on representation. Make the council the senate, and make the commission the collective executive (like switzerland) but with 7 members instead of 20+. 1 or 2 reps per region. Supposed to represent the whole EU anyway, not member-states

  28. @Tenvalmestr  Not to be mean, but this 5th republic isn't that old, so there is no historic political culture. I mean, using that metric, France should revert back to an absolute monarchy under Louis XVIII or something. Times change. What was tolerated 1000 years ago, 100 years ago, and even 10 years ago won't be tolerated now.

  29. @rolodexter  A monarch also provides stability, but I'd hardly want him in charge of politics. An elected monarch is worse, because they think they can do whatever because the people supposedly support him (only just half, if that).

  30.  @OscarOSullivan  I do like the way the Irish president can send to the Supreme Court for judicial review on a questionable bill and to send to the people for a referendum. All parliamentary systems should explicitly give that duty to the head of state (president or monarch). It is a check on power.

  31. @IkeOkerekeNews  The parliamentary system, particularly with proportional representation and a monarch head of state, is the most stable form of democracy. Proportional representation allows multiple parties to be in govt (executive) and puts extra checks on the prime minister, and it allows more voices of the people. Monarch head of state prevents prime ministers/chancellors from taking over that office because they aren't part of the Royal dynasty, and it keeps the head of state from assuming powers that should be closer to the people and more easily changed (eg prime minister, cabinet, and parliament). Imagine the outrage if King Charles had the same powers as the French president. It should be the same for an elected "monarch". Also, the parliamentary checks and balances are more dynamic: 1) the cabinet can remove the pm if disagrees, or they resign and new elections called 2) the party removes the pm if he goes against the party platform 3) the parliament can remove the pm by a confidence vote 4) the head of state can remove if going against the constitution (he/she is the actual commander in chief, not the pm)

  33. Or could be Emperor Macron (though he could Institute a parliamentary system as politically active monarchs aren't really tolerated in polite society anymore).

  34. French president is one of the most powerful... Finnish president who attended NATO joining ceremony instead of the prime minister: 🇫🇮 😶🫥😶‍🌫️ American president who can just nuke anyone and send troops anywhere in the world without american people even knowing they're there, and spy on allies and make them apologize, and topple foreign govts: 🫅🤠🚀🚀🚀🛰🛰🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫
