      Not even bumpkins. A lot of fucking guys, who thought they were better than they were, and created a stupid fucking government.

      They took the current form of the Westminster parliamentary system and said "how can we make this more cumbersome & difficult to get anything done while retaining all the bad parts?" while the Westminster parliamentary system went "how can we get rid of some of the bad parts?"

      The senate, is literally the House of Lords. If the House of Lords had zero rules, and was based around everyone being, “gentlemanly,” to each other. Nothing exemplifies this than the fucking three month transition period bullshit. The Brits do it in a DAY, but we need 3 months?

      The American Senate has way more power than the House of Lords. The HoL can't even reject money bills. Also, the amount of power the president has, which was directly based on how much power King George III had. I've seen people say Americans re-elect George III every four years.

      It has more power, but it literally has more unwritten rules than fucking baseball. It’s nothing but unwritten rules and it’s driven by this idiotic civility. Also, all the damn presidential power was basically held in check, by idiotic civility, then dubya happened, and...

      There are written rules, in the form of parliamentary procedure, to which the HoL is also subject There are no unwritten rules that are inherent to the American system; there are unwritten rules that are inherent to the bipartisan consensus, which exist in every system

      And the consensus is bipartisan even in systems which are superficially multipartisan Look, again, at Australia — there are about seven parties in each chamber and they make up a decent portion of the legislature, but most Australians would agree they have a two-party system

      Taiwan explicitly works this way - there are many parties, including tiny single issue parties, but the parties are officially sorted into two coalitions labeled by color, the Pan-Blue Coalition (conservative) and Pan-Green Coalition (progressive)

      Each one being led by one big party (the Pan-Blue Coalition is led by the KMT, the Chinese Nationalist Party, the Pan-Green Coalition is led by the DPP, the Democratic Progressive Party) whose names are usually just used synecdochically for the coalitions in the news

      It's funny because there is an actual Green Party, as part of the international "Green Party movement", that does caucus with the Pan-Green Coalition, but is not what it's named after and is not very important in it

      (Fun fact, the first Green Party was in Australia and the name came from the hot-button Australian issue of "the Green Bans" pushed by Aussie labor unions)

          So here's a fun thing: I am literally a former Australian Greens candidate (Division of Petrie, 2019; didn't make it to formal AEC nomination and was replaced by the more moderate Jason Kennedy, who was a colleague and friend) and I did not know this
