That's not a desirable feature in a representative democracy.
- rightbyte 3y agoI think you kinda want some institutional inertia though.
- MarkMarine 3y agoYour representatives are in congress
- maxerickson 3y agoNot having a unitary executive seems perfectly compatible with representative democracy.
- ipaddr 3y agoSimilar to supreme court judges
- turquoisevar 3y agoYou’d be surprised how few representative democracies suffer from the same whiplash inducing pendulum effect the US suffers from. In most western nations the top civil servant and all those below them are non-partisan career civil servants that keep the ship running at all times and have better employment protections than the average employee (which already requires for cause in those countries). A new Minister’s (Secretary in US parlance) role is mainly that of someone who plots a course and the civil servants in the ministry try to follow it. As a side note, the concept or “government shutdown” is also entirely foreign in those countries, if not outright ridiculous.
