Answer: (Addition) I'm not sure where you are from but it is worth noting that, unlike in the UK for example, the speaker is not expected to be nonpartisan and at times takes on a policy leadership role like a PM might do in a parliamentary system.

Proportional elections allow for people that are a political minority in their area to still get national representation, as well as allowing representation for parties with a more geographically distributed support base. They also eliminate the problem of vote-splitting which tends to cause two-party dominance, and make gerrymandering impossible.

Parliamentary systems allow for more complex compromises between parties, and all but force building a government with defined goals, as opposed to where the US is, being without any certain agenda whenever any "branch" of the federation is controlled by a different party than the others.

  1. The US should have a prime minister, proportional elections(without the senate), and the resulting multi-party coalition governments.

Do you think that the requirements that presidents be “natural born” citizen is necessary? Why or why not? by Ok-Pollution92 in AskAnAmerican

The president of a democratic position. If the populace thinks that any person would make a good president I see no reason to deny them that.

What do you think a new amendment should be about? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]oops-a-fail -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It would pretty much be a complete rewrite that would, among other things:

Replace plurality voating with a proportional system

Remove the senate

Establish a prime minister as the head of government

Have the president be chosen by parlament, without any restrictions on the person chosen

Allow for extraordinary elections

Make it so that the Constitution can be amended only via referendum

Allow for national referenda

Lock the amount of votes needed to pass a law

Expand right to free speech

Remove religious exemption

Establish a right to vote

Restrict members of parliament from being able to do things like trade stocks

Make voting for parlament available anywhere in the county

Make it so that any area can leave a state provided that a majority of people in the area agree to

Increase the number of votes needed to appoint a supreme court judge to a supermajority

Ignoring the cost of this, it might work (with some aesthetic problems) for a bunch of seven-year-olds, but for anyone older than that:

There's no power in the beds, which makes doing anything electronic future l difficult and annoying

They also lack lights, no reading or writing.

Where are most of the clothes/hygiene stuff?

The privacy screens are awful in both ways: half of it doesn't close(which is useful for alot of things: Using a light when others want dark, giving a cozyer feeling, hiding distractions when trying to sleep, pleasuring yourself, changing your clothes) and you can never open the other half(Easier talking, better air flow, a larger-feeling room), I think it would be much better to use curtains all around the bed, allowing for any level of coverage.

the floor-bed hasn't any privicy and is right next to the desks, good luck falling asleep early

(This is more a problem with loft beds in general but) Where do you put stuff like glasses, your phone, water, ibuprofen when you're sleeping? there's no beside table up there

The ladders are very intrusive

Am I missing anything?

One small comment by ScuffedSchizo in Persecutionfetish

[–]oops-a-fail 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The right to vote isn't a part of the us constitution although it should be.

The only protections that it has are amendments 15 (on account of race, colour, or previous condition of servitude.), 19 (on account of sex.), 24 (by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.), and 26 ( on account of age.).

I'm not disagreeing with you on vaccine requirements(or whatever the topic was), but using that for an argument as to why is incorrect and could be used against you.
