 theresa may is about as bad as trump but the british political system is going to keep the tories there for longer than a trump-led GOP

the post of current leaders worse than trump is missing Duterte, who is what trump would strive to be if a 200+ year old political system of checks and balance weren't holding him down

I was under the impression that the Filipino government was designed around the United States political system. Then again I go this information from a Vice documentary...
in terms of its constitution, yes. in practice, not so much, especially in the legislature where its members don't really stick with one political party and ride the wave of popular sentiment

What prevents this from happening in the U.S.? Serious question.
i guess party membership rules are looser in the philipines? also their presidential election system is terrible because you can get far short of 50% between a few candidates and still win outright, as duterte did
