Over the years, as much as I hate the fucking subject, I've actually become very fascinated with politics of all kinds. Be it Democracies, Monarchies or even the occasional dictatorship. After watching the news on Russia try to take Ukraine by force, I got to thinking a few things. One, if they take over one former Soviet place, we're fucked because we all have to go to war against them and let's face it, as much as I boast about my own Country's Military, I am not an idiot, the Soviets were ultimately the ones that took down most of Germany forcing Hitler to off himself in the first place. Now if the guy was so scared of Russia, that despite killing over 11 million people, is willing to bite a bullet, then we should be pretty fucking scared.
However, I come to a realization, that many of the wars that have happened over the past centuries was done because of the constantly differing political viewpoints. In other words, people arguing about bullshit. However I came to notice something. This is mostly based on the west's view of democracy. However I think if one can annex this and apply it to other political view points I think I may have a solution.
In both Canada and The US for example, our biggest problem is that despite being a democracy, it runs like a monarchy. Meaning whoever is the dominant political party that takes over as President and Prime Minister respectfully, regardless which other parties have seats in the Capitol and House of Commons, has to abide by their overall rule even if they don't agree with it. The only limits, being what they can do or can't do in their own state/province.
Because of that, it makes everyone outside those countries think despite us and them saying otherwise, that each leader only goes by one party. Which in fact they do. The only times the other parties ever have a chance for a say is if they happen to occupy the most seats.
For example, a mostly democratic white house is legally obligated to hear some republicans out, should they occupy the most seats in Senates and Congresses. A mostly Liberal Government has to hear out the Conservatives if they take the majority seats in The House of Commons. Doesn't mean that said leader has to impliment their suggestions, just means they have a right to disagree, which is basically a bastardization of what Democracy should be about.
We spent most of our time, energy and even money arguing about who should be the definitive party. After careful deliberation, here is my answer.
All of them. There should be a leader up top that represents each and every party and each decision should be put to a vote between them.
One person, literally can't appeal to the rest of the country even with their cabinet, every party deserves a say. Their Pros encouraged, their cons dismissed. That is true democracy, because rather than have one person, one party, run it all under the delusion of everyone getting a say, then we all get a fucking say.
I saw a miracle, something I never expected to see, but every single political party in my country agreed that Russia should be sanctioned for what they did. Whether you all believe it should be or not, is irrelavant at this time, because let me ask you this. How often do political parties agree with each other. It's literally slim to none because most of the time they are more focused on fighting for what they believe is their share of the country. This literally rarely ever happens. They even specifically said, that they'd settle their differences just to fight this fucking thing.
All I am saying is that it should happen more often. And with the very people that put them up top, we could end up for once making things better. Not just for our countries, but for the rest of the world. Think about it.
