1. I'm barely dimly aware of the British Parliament's traditions and methods

But that sure seems a more transparent system of informing the public than Sunday talking head shows. Imagine Trump in such a humble debate and I'm surely not capturing nor understanding the meaning of the use of "humble".

2. It's superior, in my view (I'm Canadian) to the cumbersome US system.

Question Period in Parliament, when the leader of the party HAS to stand up and answer questions. Trump would've failed in 2016 the first time he stood up.

Also the party can get rid of the leader (and therefore the Prime Minister) if they want to get rid of him.

3. Thanks, so theirs is more nuanced and situational, ours is more mechanical.

How long has been this same system in place for UK? Same as 1700s? Or evolved. Maybe our Founders were a bit too optimistic about human nature, power - too much Enlightenment.

4. They feared a monarchy and kinda created one with the office of the President.

I'm not sure how old this form of Parliament has been around. It is a work in progress.

5. As an American, I agree 100%. I remember Eugene McCarthy said a

parliamentary system is better than our system.
