Hasn't the last 8 years demonstrated how impractical this government is when you have one party which simply refuses to work with the other? What do you think would happen when your "outsider" stands up before congress and they all give a collective "fuck you." Your "outsider" will have no base whatsoever in congress. No one who will cover the "outsider's" back. Or are we invoking magic here and thinking that an "outsider" will usher in an era of peace and love?
You may as well pray for fucking god to intervene for all the good that will do!
I don't know US political history ... But what you seem to be describing is one government with two sides to the Party, just named differently?...
No, no. The parties are as different as night and day. All you have to do is look at their respective platforms to see that. Now platforms are nothing more than wish lists but the thought of those conservatard bastards trying to enact theirs is frightening.
What would happen in a European country where the prime minister did not have a majority?
