    “Politic stability”

    Hahaha…Good joke…

    To be fair, it isnt as bad in the USA but you can’t really say it is really stable. The far right and conservatives are getting stronger and the left/right trench is getting bigger

      The US is exceptionally stable. Their current administration has been demolishing their country for an year and they’re still in power, with support from the other branches of government.

        Having lived in a couple of countries in Europe, from The Netherlands which has Proportional Vote system and a thus a multitude of small parties to Britain with a First Past The Post system like the US and thus pretty much a Two Party System, I’ve concluded that at least in Politics stability is just like standing water - it invariably turns into a swamp.

        We need some amount of constant change to bring up and flush out the rot that innevitably accumulates in the murky waters of a system were power is always in the hands of a subset of people who are all in the same social circles, went to the same schools and whose sons and daughters marry each other.

        Not “Daily Revolution”, just regular change so that any funny business going on outside the public eye risks being brought to light, destroyed and the guilty people punished because power has changed has to people who aren’t mates of the crooks that did it.
