US lower house vs France lower house Why is the US congress

>>130670481
France only had 42% of voters bother to turn up and vote. Literally an illegitimate government.

>>130670481
Because americans are subhumans.

>>130670630
Legitimacy is about how many of the people that voted actually voted for you, not how many people could have voted for you.

>>130670910
By the way I had the same argument with a Bernie Sander fanboy a few weeks ago.

>>130670910
42%

Call me when Micron can get 50% of voters to show up then he can have some claim to represent a majority until then he will be told to shut the fuck up by democratic states.

>>130671028
If you are elected you don't represent the majority in a Republic, you represent the whole nation. For example, you don't need to live in the place you are candidate.

>French Parliament is representative
You clearly don't what what you're talking about

>>130671732
I'm not saying it's 100% representative, but it's far more than the US.

>>130671873
Then you're clearly overestimating the average Burger awareness.
More than 2 colors in the Parliament and they get an aneurysm

Comprehend with your cunt brain that America despite its flaws is more representative with 55% of the population voting to elect their current government. France needs democratic reform.

>>130672185
Why are you talking about government you fucking retard I'm talking about legislative election. Turn out was 77% for electing the president.

It would likely require one of three things:
1: The Democratic and Republican parties to fall and new parties to take there place, preferably more than two. But if only one falls, odds are half the population would be divided between the new parties.
2: The entire voting system to be changed to runoff voting, so people don't feel like they're wasting their vote. But the two parties don't want that, so won't happen.
3. A third party gets enough of a following to be competitive and stay a third party and not overtake either of the other two. Which again, will not happen.

To be fair to the americans their two parties aren't monolithic like European ones, there are many different positions and caucuses inside them

>>130672874
>European parties
>Monolithic

>>130673087
take the CDU in Germany, they've been electing Merkel as their leader for how long now? a decade? it would be unthinkable in the republicans or democrats

>>130673402
Obama would have been re elected. You know it.

>>130670481
The next Trump should just start his own party.

>>130675461
Only white people vote for anything but the presidential.

>euros still thinking a diversified and deadlocked legislature is a positive thing
When will you guys break your conditioning? Your legislatures are designed to stymie any real change and fast action, all they do is help create more convoluted beurocracies. You know who really benefits? The status quo
