What's the difference between a president, prime minister,

>>65793775
It depends on the country

There's countries like the US , russia,france where the president has most of the power
UK has no president ,so obv the prime minister has all the power
There are countries where the president is more of a representative of the nation than a ruler (kindof like the uk and constitutional monarchies) , like mine or germany
A chancellor is basically a prime minister

It really depends on the country

>A chancellor is basically a prime minister
Why do germans say chancelor and not Prime Minister like everybody ?

>>65794332
They've been calling it that way since the german empire ,i'm guessing it just stuck around

>>65793775
A president rules the country
A prime minister sucks the monarchs cock
A chancellor sucks rapefugee cock

France has a prime minister though. It's a semi-presidential system, where the president is effectively the "monarch" ruling by his own democratic mandate, and the prime minister is responsible to parliament.

Countries have either parliamentary (European) or presidential systems in presidential the president is directly elected by the people in a majority wins election(or plurality if more than two parties). In a parliamentary system after the general election the parties in the legislative form a government and the governing party(or parties in a coalition) pick the prime minister from one of their own. Chancellor is the German PM. Parliament-based counties usually elect presidents as well but as head of states, but monarchies (UK, Spain, NL) usually grant the head of state status to their King or Queen. Having a presidential system encourages two parties whilst a parliamentary system encourages more.

The roles of presidents and prime ministers are different between countries

In our country , most of the power is concentrated to the prime minister, the president represents the nation and has some power over WHO gets to be prime minister (+ some informal social power ) but effectively the ruler during peace is the prime minister (the army technically answers to the president but its budget and missions are set by ministers whom are controlled by the prime minister)

Explain the mess of my country then. I think that's only a thing in the us due to First Past the Post

Pretty much this. De facto it's the case in Britain as well, with most minor parties simply being there for shits and giggles. That's because the FBTP system acts as if parties don't exist. Under those circumstances it's ideal, but as soon as party politics get involved, FPTP becomes shit. We saw this with UKIP: 30% of votes, less than 1% of the seats.

We have a presidential system and our system is basically 3 party (right-center-left)with basically half a dozen smaller parties often playing kingmakers through coalitions and very involved in the legislative process.

We are first past the post as well

So if palpatine was a Chancellor what gave him the power to reform a republican government into an empire?

>>65795357
The Senate voted to give him power, they voted to create an army and put him at the helm, he used that power to become emperor.

Star Wars is retarded. Palpetine was supposed to be literally Hitler, down to the title. That's my guess.

>>65795655
Actually Star Wars is based on Asimov's foundation, which is itself based on the history of the Roman Empire, obviously yes, the Glactic empire does make a lot of visual references to Nazi Germany but it isn't the main source, you'll notice in the first trilogy Imperials other than Vader and Palpatine all had British accents while rebels all spoke with American ones.

In all fairness the allegory is not bad one, the Reichstag did disolve itself. Many of its members did eventually get killed by Nazis as thanks for their efforts.

Wasn't that just a general thing in America at the time, to hire British actors for bad guy roles?

>>65796155
Darth Vader has an American accent, as does Emperor Palpatine. Obi Wan Kenobi has a British accent as does C-3PO

>>65794332
Formality. The same way we have a National Assembly when it's by all means a Parliament.

>>65797239
To be fair, that's because the English abused the term Parliament. The original French parlement was a court of law. From the French perspective it'd make no sense to call the legislative body that.

President = 3rd World
Prime Minister = 1st World

All you need to know.

Spain is the worst case

The parliament of the nation is the Congress. The parliament of some regions is a Junta, in others a Generality, in others a Court...

The funny thing is, absolutely ALL of them are the same, work for the same and in the same way.
