Why is decentralization of power bad?
>>51442556
Because it represents the majority's desires, which is too democratic, therefore it is bad.

Democracy is not necessarily a good thing. If the mass media owned by a few individuals and public education is sloppy, then you can easily shape the thought of the populace.
Besides that, most people are simply sheep. Tell them something enough and they'll believe it. Sometimes what you've told them is correct; other times it isn't.
Rarely will you find a person with justified beliefs.

What point are you trying to make? I'm not trying to be edgy; most people are not only uneducated, but poor thinkers.

What is wrong with the Electoral College? It only makes a difference in extremely close races like in 2000, but those are rare anyway.
>>51442892
It's too federal and gives authoritarians and populists endless butthurt.
>>51442856
My only point is that Democracy is not perfect. Democracy is just as susceptible to rule by the few as other systems of government. I don't know how things are in Australia, but do you think most people could draw a supply and demand curve?

How do they decide that Canada is more democratic than the US for example? Is it based on the price to run for office? Government transparency?
From the standpoint of just the election system, it seems to me that Presidential systems are more democratic than parliamentary.
The people get to elect the executive themselves, and the executive has real powers outside the legislature and can check the legislature. In parliamentary, he's completely a rubber stamp.

Actually American's don't elect the executive, they elect people to elect to executive, and it's a winner takes all for entire /states/ rather than ridings.

It works like a direct election, really.
It's easy to fire no good prime mister in Japan. Abe is good.

In Japan has the king chink been removed from power many times?

If you live in a state which always votes left or right in every election, your vote doesn't count. For example, a republican voter will not make a difference in deciding who wins Massachusetts; because it is always guaranteed to give it's 3 electoral points to a democratic candidate. Someone with the smae political views who lives in California or Ohio has, states that by themselves can sometimes decide entire elections, has a much more influential vote. It takes power away from the voter.

I like that one politician you guys had who sperged out on live TV after he got caught using tax money to go on vacation.
>>51443433
Vote anyway so they can adjust state policies to how conservative/liberal it is dickweed
>>51443406
If supporting rate of cabinet became the under 20%, ruling party changes prime minister.
After 2000, there were 9 prime minsters. 7 in the 9 were short term.
>>51442892
>>51442466
Any parliamentary system. The fact that the party chooses the leader and not the entire electorate is idiotic.
>>51442892
It's not "1 person, 1 vote". It gives grossly disproportionately higher weight to votes from less populous states.
That's just one of many problems with it.
>>51443866
I don't get why they don't split the votes up in each state so that both parties get a proportion of electorate votes. Like in the case of texas or california, why would one party get all 55 or all 38 rather than a percentage of those seats.
I don't get it!!!!

All presidential elections except 1888 and 2000 had the winner carry the popular vote.
2000 was a particularly notable election not just for that, but for only the second time the son of a president was elected president.

Americans promoted fascism on 4chan. We're on the cutting edge of politics, just as we were 500 years ago.
>>51443889
Why?
>>51444134
Its way better then the states, the parties have no excuse when their plans don't turn out and can't blame it got watered down. Its technically more undemocratic but in reality it works better.
Portugal, because people here are dumb as shit
>>51444434
Unrelated, Portugal has the most black blood of any European country.
