......

In the USA, the House and the Senate can debate on big govt and small govt. They can debate on taxing the rich or providing more accessible healthcare. Ultimately it is the people who will decide who gets into law making organisations. Which individual to represent them as their President, their representative, their senator and their local governor. The party can be important but individuals can and will vote across party lines for what they think is right. There is a lot of transparency there......

.......

unfortunately all 3 branches of the u.s. government have evolved into a 2-party system which has totally divided and polarized the country. nothing right gets done, and if anything is agreed to by both parties, the resulting legislation is full of pork and giveaways (a.k.a. bribes for useless projects at the state, county and municipal levels) to reach a compromise. it is also porkmarked with loopholes by powerful interest groups and lobbyists who represent their well-funded clients, with the aim of tweaking the law in their favor. that was not the original intent of the constitution when it was first drafted.

the u.s. is huge enough with various regions, deep resources and a large critical mass in population to survive a catastrophic collapse of the national economy. and whatever political nonsense washington d.c. comes out with, state and local conditions do not always succumb to federal stupidity. there's some check and balance at state vs. fed levels, but the state, county and local governments are also party-led and tend to follow partisan politics. things would have been more efficient, timely, less costly, but the multiple layers of government and branches and the two parties conduct budget and turf wars incessantly that time truly slows down, in einsteinian fashion.

sg cannot follow the u.s. system. the little red dot will become a horrible mess. all political systems evolve. they are never static over time. it may start out trendy and fancy, but nobody knows what monster evolves from a perfectly fine theoretical model.

imo, the sg inc. system suits sg nicely, due to size, geography, demographics, people. it has to be run like a well-oiled corporation with ceo, coo, cto, cmo, cio for her to not only survive, but thrive. you should be proud that you're citizens of the universe's first political entity that has evolved from city-state to island-nation to corporate-nation. i, eatshitndie, thus bestow the new next gen title on sg - corponation.
