ORIGINAL: Greta75 We are spoiled because our government micro-manages everything and take care of every problem. While you guys are concern about jobs. Our unemployment is so low that, that's barely a concern. Our concerns are more spoilt brat things like, there should be 100% home ownership, as everyone deserves their own fully owned roof and how the government is gonna make it happen. If that can't be a possibility, then we would consider our government to have failed us. Everything else is so well taken care of, that our demands are actually higher than what other people in other country would expect out of their government. As for democracy. Our democracy is equal. Your President does not win by popular vote. Our PM does not win by popular vote. It's in a way electoral vote phrased in a different manner. This election has done a lot to convince me that your system is better. You would NEVER end up with an incompetent moron like Trump anywhere near a position of power. Your PM is appointed based on his popularity among the rest of the government officials... Trump's own party is largely against him, so he wouldn't even be considered in the first place. Your president is basically a popular businessman-- Trump would never have been allowed to run. You need to understand that the US system is deeply flawed in that it allows angry, frustrated morons to choose not just the leader of the US, but also one of the most powerful people in the world. You've never had to worry about the prospect of an idiot with ridiculous policies seizing power, ruining your country, and not just destroying your economy but also hurting the global economy at a time when it can't afford to be hurt.
