But America bad, remember? Can you believe America, taking a long time to elect officials?

    Clearly we need a European style democracy where the people vote for parties A B and C and then A and C win and form a government with X Y and Z so that there's a Frankenstein government that literally nobody voted for. It's more democratic, you see.

    I would like to take issue with your last two points. People in Europe vote knowing a coalition government is the outcome, meaning many people did in fact vote for Frankenstein’s Monster. Also, with the coalition, more people are represented in the government, meaning a wider range of opinions and subjectively more democratic.
