more like the Republicans are as commie as the Democrats

But meritocratic autocracy works great. The Romans tried that and had a succession of "5 good emperors."

well, if you're going to say certain systems work and others dont, then you have to say what the goal of government is, or what it should be.

if stabillity is needed, then you need to appease the masses. the masses will overthrow the government if they dont think they have power and by masses, i dont mean the majority, but simply, a large group of people. in every form of government, certain groups wont have power at any one time. the current way to create stability and appease these groups is by giving them the chance to govern. the democratic process's beauty isnt giving everyone a equal say in government, because people dont have an equal say in governemnt, the beauty is making people that are dissatisfied with the government believe that it can change without a rebellion, and no rebellion is needed.

Government exists because there's demand for the services it provides, and it uses the structure and resources it acquires by doing such in order to expand and exercise its power.

A government of a state where the political, economic and social structures are unable to supply demand will be threatened in favor of one that promises to deliver. That is why Hitler came to power, and that is why the Communism declined.

There is nothing government ought to do. But a necessary component of a successful government is an ability to efficiently satisfy public demand, and empower and direct the economic and social structures to also satisfy demand.

and satisfying public demand might of been doable when countries had less pop, less educated pop, and worse communication, but nowadays, appeasing everyone is impossible. the best way to stay off rebellion is to give the other groups an opportunity to gain power via democratic elections.>>

Eh. Well the advantage of having political power is the ability to control others. But rebellion really isn't an issue if you have the media regulated, and are able to adequately administrate public services and manage the economy and diplomacy. People just don't get up and rebel because they disagree with government on ideological issues, they do it because they're hungry or fed up with neglect and inefficiency.

I believe Canada should run a referendum for all provinces except Quebec asking whether we should kick Quebec out of the country.
Its time to set the welfare state free.

Also, the main reason the socialists, communists and anarchists are trying to take over government is because the current government tried to bankrupt them by putting a stop to public financing for all political parties.

Their first order of business will be to give $30B (around 26B USD) to auto companies and forrestry idiots.
The US congress debates for weeks then give $25B, Canada replaces the government so we can give 10 times more than we were asked for.

Well, the PM said a few words on TV.
The Turkey that leads the opposition demanded equal TV time (just like the PM hoped) and after showing up an hour late made a mess of it all (just like the PM expected)

Well planned.

Now they only need a dozen idiots to get scared and it all falls to pieces.

so if I understand it, the opposition was gonna have a coup d'etat, but then the PM got wtih the Gee-Gee and got his coup d'etat mojo flowing, and there was a cross-coup mojonation going on

the Quebecois should have the Queen fly out herself and depose the Gee-Gee and then resume Parliament on a Sunday so they can vote out the PM

or they'll just have a beer and a smoke, eh

I'm quoting from Austin Powers!

nah in CA dialect you'd hear the F-bomb more often
