THE BRITS WERE RIGHT, STILL ARE, EVEN IF THEY”VE ABANDONED REALITY.

Except for writing down the constitution in explicit terms (a project that still would be valuable), and giving the proletariat its own house rather than handing over the house of commons, and not ‘really’ preserving the monarch’s right of veto, the british system was superior to the american system in every possible way.

The parliamentary system as they conduct it is superior on so many levels, not the least of which is that we could get rid of an Obama today more easily. The use of Barrister’s and Solicitors is something I would never have thought of but certainly produces better process. And it is easier to hold policy across multiple governments. The one thing I feel strongly about is that the military must be its own branch of government, with written constitutional obligations and limits, rather than commanded by the government. (and when I say military, I mean it in my terms, not extant american terms.)
