re: Parliament Is More Democratic
I wonder what you're refering to about Europe.
In Belgium for instance there have been governments that fell because of non confidence votes but thus was much more regularly the case in the 60's, the 70's and part of the 80's. In the 90's and lately, they've lasted their entire term (4 years too). But we also have coalitions and they do work because we have the habit of compromising.
