Open Left

Of course, in a parliamentary democracy... (0.00 / 0)

...we'd be more reliant on our legislative brain trust. Given their track record of idiocy I can't say that gives me much comfort either.

...Adding, the Senate blowhards with even more power. Just what we need... (yes, I know you're not advocating it. I'm just sayin'.)

Well, sure, the systems are totally different. (0.00 / 0)

The parties (as organisations) are much stronger too, with more discipline, so you can't really compare that. In a parliamentary system, numerous of the Dem troublemakers wouldn't have a seat anymore. The party base would have kicked them out.
