Would be disastrous and hilarious after election if the ballots made that mistake. How did the sweden democrats get 38% of the vote??? 😋

That's what the civil service is for. They actually run the country.

I would rather see single or few issue parties similar to interest groups (but unlike interest groups, are able to compromise). This allows people to vote for whst they view as most pressing. As voters will not think alike, the coalition would end up being 15 or so parties that will get their respective issues passed in some degree. Basically, single issue parties are more like small mom and pop businesses while major parties are like giant corporations.

There were left wing govts too. Didn't turn the country into the USSR or China... Perhaps we should stop scaremongering on both sides?

Presidential systems have less safeguards than parliamentary systems, despite the rhetoric otherwise. The head of state and head of govt should never be the same person (it took the merger of those offices in the 30s before a certain German could really unleash). The speaker should be non-partisan. Parties should remove members who violate their party constitution. Cabinet should remove prime minister whom they no longer can work with. Parliament should be able to remove the prime minister or minister anytime by a simple majority. The head of state should be able to remove a prime minister for anti-democratic bills or policies. That's not even mentioning the court system.

@社会主義惑星人民連邦 Appreciate that. I do watch RT occasionally on my global news, but they have become more trumpian than Fox (US right wing news). CGTN is very blatant in the last year or so. Both call out the US on things that the US media doesn't talk about too much (eg assange) but fail to self reflect on Putin or Xi jinping, respectively.

@bengoacher4455 Imagine if they tried price controls on everything. The economy would collapse faster than a Viking pillage. Price controls are just a bandaid on a severed artery.

@barbasmas Same issue with Assange in american media. Have to listen to multiple national news to get the full story. Every country has their own agenda...

@社会主義惑星人民連邦 I can't speak for RT specifically, but isn't BBC and CBC owned by the british and Canadian govts, respectively?

@PeterBuvik My favourite is the Japanese liberal democrats--they are neither liberal nor democrats.

@sim00n99 Liberal in the old days meant free market and no tariffs, nowadays it has more of a social progressive feel. Classic liberals would not support social programs either as its big govt. They would rely on the market, charities, and churches.

@sirBrouwer The british labour party is less socialist than it used to be. Another party actually broke away that had the original values of the labour party, but couldn't use the same name.

@arielleung3917 I'm rather a fan of liberal greens. Don't recall the country, but Iirc, it combines environmentalism with libertarianism (classic liberalism).

Just curious, but anyone know why the prime minister and ministers need to be politicians? The parliament can vote on bills from anyone; parliament could hire a non-partisan professional CEO/administrator to actually run the country. The CEO can hire the CFO, and other high officers. The CEO can even be the chief civil servant.

As far as housing goes, why can't the govt build them fast enough to drastically lower the price? Perhaps they could count annual mortgage and rent as tax-free. Or better yet, single-payer housing (or however swedish healthcare is done, match that method for housing). Having just rent controls on housing is like just having price controls on healthcare. No govt support for doctors, insurance, or subsidies, just "don't charge more or we'll fine you." I hate high prices too, but just capping the prices with a ceiling (price control) is like putting a bandaid on a severed artery.

@sirBrouwer That is annoying. I'd rather they just make a new party rather than changing the values of the original. Probably the reason the progressive socialist party is a nationalist hard right party nowadays (example). I call false advertising 😋
