And this is why I prefer proportional electoral systems with parliamentarism. By dividing peoples opinions into more nuances with more parties you end up with more factions that you might not fully agree with but you can understand aspects of their view and be willing to see things at least partially from their point of view. It makes the political debates more nuanced. You still have biases. But it's less clear cut.

3:42 Actually it's kind of the opposite. In Europe we have proportional representation, so we have multiple people fighting it out, changing sides etc. But once faught over it's decided. America however is like a back alley fight, where when one side is beaten they refuse to stay down and they'll get back up to fight another round, then another, then another over the same issue again and again. 7:02 Sometimes it's good with some discretion for social security too in order to ensure that people don't fall between the cracks of the rules. In Norway the welfare system in addition to the rules also have a certain amount of money dedicated to discretional spending on borderline qualifying people, allowing the rules to be slightly fuzzy, filling out more of the cracks. There's still rules, but the bureaucrats are allowed to use common sense. The majority of the budget is still definitely rules based, but having that slight flexibility is useful. 16:08 Government spending on the health care isn't the problem. The bureaucracy is. Not just state bureaucracy, but the bureaucracy created by hospitals dealing with so many different insurance companies.

Thank you for making this video. It helped me spot a few issues in my own country. We're not even close to as bad as the US. But we do have a tendency to have goverment interference in what military bases are opened and closed and what infrastructure projects are built or not.
