Monarchy does not mean bad system.

TL;DR

My point was that the Dutch political system is one that isn't failing as badly as others in modern times.

The American system for example sucks balls. A two party system does not allow for radical or controversial views to be included in party plans. It creates a situation were 50% of the people can hate the guts of the current government, and is therefore not a good representation of the people. The average civilian has a very limited choice on the actions of the government, since he can only choose between two views he will both not completely agree with, instead of having at least one party which he agrees on to a much larger extent.

Then again the Dutch system has numerous disadvantages as well. Taking decisions can take a lot of time, and sometimes a coalition does not agree on a certain point and the government will fall requiring reelections. In the Netherlands it has been quite some time since the government ran a full 4 year term. Another disadvantage is that radical bills still don't pass, since they have to be approved by the first chamber, which may have different political views than the second chamber (for which there are elections). Finally, there isn't optimal cooperation between a national and regional political level, creating inefficiency and odd budget allocations.

And my long post explains why it wasn't and the implications of an absolute rulling system.
 
The founding fathers of America thought the same thing. If there was more than 1 party in control, then the party would rather fight for votes rather than doing what is best for the country.
 
What you described happens to nearly all governments. America's, China's, Russia's, U.K's, etc etc.

I'm enjoying some subtle parts of Tamako Market
 
  1. Similar and not multi haired
  2. Very very good animation quality
  3. Good character design(copy and paste, but whatever)
  4. BG music
  5. Comedy
  6. Innocent play
  7. the ED song
 
yeah, the ED song is quite nice.
 
Maybe the people at KyoAni are music lovers with IEM's or something.

You need to do a trace on the picture to vectorize it.
He said the gradients turned out horrible
 
OMG! So cute!
Is that the same VA as mayushii in S;G?

Aiite x_X
Will try to do that if even possible. The pictures I am using are, as you saw it (I posted them previously) sort of like painting style, so there's a lot of loss of definite lines in the character outlines :S
 
Yup! Diabeetus.

Despite having the least bad political system in the world*, we still have a monarchy.
