<Jesus_Hitler> what would you think of nation where the indiviidual states elected their own presidents?
<Eddy> Would that really be one nation, though?
<Jesus_Hitler> and that the federal president could also run for president in individual states?
Is this an itelligent debate if its not real...?, any one could take this in any direction they like... say in this fictious world could the inhabitence be Octi-peds and all have magic swords with glowing jelly fish like pets ?... If so I agree full heartedly that yes they should have their own presidents for each state...
OK Seriously back on Topic
what would you think of nation where the indiviidual states elected their own presidents?What would I think, I think I would run for office... May be get elected into power and have my self a little party, with a bouncey castle full of sheep, oh and a cow... Some jelly, a choclate coated sponge and some Dwarfs, why Dwarfs..? Why the heck not I am the President...
Depending on the fitious circumstances and the fictious peoples opinions depends on if it would work...
Try explaining the social levels of each state in your fictious world... paint, I dunno a couple of 1,000 years of histroy to each state and create a picture for us to work with... Or better yet... Don't...LOL
I don't remember saying "hey, this would be an ideal government!" While this sort of government might suffer from more inertia than the American or British governments, there is nothing that would keep it from working altogether. There is no real need for a nation to have a single official leader making decisions instead of a small group of people.
Again we have no bench mark to say if it would be ideal or not... What is the culture the back ground, give us an example...
For example... If Europes Islands all got sandwiched together, like France, England, Spain etc... Lets call it the USE for example (United states of Europe) - Then I think each "State" would be better run with elected president roles, and may be stil have a sort of final passing of law at some thing like a UN conferense with a majority win the laws be passed... That would work...
Other example Sandwich together Israel, Lebbanon, Korea (both sides), China, LA, Japan and England and it just wouldn't work... it would not be much different than it is now, to big a difference of opinion, to boig a culture and polictical gap from one state to another...
When you say "Fictious" give an example... Else who's to say much about much...
