It is perhaps the longest and most sustainable work in progress towards some notion of a democratic system that is both morally just and functional. Some might argue that the UK and other European models have features that are preferable but I doubt one could argue they are “functional” in terms of frequency of governmental changes in a parliamentary system and comparison with U.S. economic growth and prosperity over any long-term time period. The real quandary is why in a country with 330 million souls, we seem to have such dreadful choices again for our leadership in 2024.
