Then again, we know better with the Rs in congress here :)

Even with the majority it was like pulling teeth to get what Trump wanted.

Maybe it’s different over there and they are more cohesive, the majority.

There the parties are much more cohesive, the party apparatus determines who runs for the posts. There are no primaries like here.

And in a parliamentary system, the legislature and the executive are almost always of the same party (or coalition). What that means is that it is much easier for the party in power to ram through pretty much whatever it wants... which I’m not crazy about. You end up getting wilder swings in policies as different parties get into government.

Basically what it means is that there is no separation of power between the legislature and executive.

I like our system better - it is more stable in the long run.
