I always read your posts.


I like your system. I think when governments fail or fall, then it's time to give the electorate another shot. Otherwise you continue to the next scheduled election. The one thing you don't do is install a "new" government without the legitimacy that an election gives (if done right.) That is a recipe for trouble.

I am not a fan of rapid change either, it makes trouble, change needs to be gradual and managed with care. So I like "glacial" change.
