Our system, however flawed, is the result of a millenia of learning what works for most people.
America's system is only a few hundred years old and has already collapsed.
I'll stick with the Westminster system under a monarchical head of state if it means we don't slip in fascism
I'm not so sure that we're not sliding into fascism?
Dutton seems to be modelling his campaign on Trump's.
He's hardly going to usher in a new era of tolerance and inclusion.
Unfortunately a lot of western countries are sliding far right. This happens after mass events such as covid. Fascism never goes away. It just gets beaten into submission until we let our guard down and it finds a way to rear its ugly head again.
