come on man, Trump was impeached twice. You mean 'remove.'
and a prime minister system is totally different than the US presidential system. It's a different animal. The US is set up with a built in tension between the executive branch and the legislative. There's supposed to be disagreement between the two, and one is not supposed to run rampant over the other. That's why it's so hard to eject a president.
A prime minister/parliament system doesn't have that tension. Prime Minister/parliament systems are forever tossing out PMs sure but that's just their own party making a decision.
You surely don't think someone from a different branch of gummint should be able to easily toss out a PM.
'Impeach', 'remove', 'fire', who cares about semantics, he is still acquitted. Why even say the guy was 'impeached', when it means zip?
You missed the bit where I said that your constitution needs changing.
You missed the bit where I said its a failed democracy
You missed the bit where I said a Governor General (independent) sacked a PM.
Your defence is like saying to a dictator led country..."hey that's how the system works"
The US has the longest lasting system of governance on the planet. Maybe you should consider its resilience and wonder why that is.
Part of answer is the built in push pull between the legislative and executive branches, adjudicated by the courts.
Governance is messy at times in every country and the US is having a bad time right now. But what you are calling a bug - the difficulty of major change - might actually be the feature.
