    Our vote of no confidence is impeachment. Same problem in regards to the party selecting the party leader in the UK. You actually have to have MPs/senators that actually agree.

      Until I see an impeachment actually result in the removal of a president, I don’t seriously believe it is a viable method. Trump has been impeached twice so far with no consequences, so forgive me for having zero confidence in the third time being the charm.

        He “learned his lesson” so he was allowed to stay in office. He learned his lesson alright. He learned he can do whatever he wants because the federal government is overrun with traitors.

        At this point the only way it’d be possible is if one party controlled both chambers of congress. The current MAGA bunch would impeach and convict the next dem president for putting ketchup on their hotdog before mustard.

        Also Fox News was a direct response to Nixon so it would never happen again to a GOP president. They won.

      Yeah the problem isn’t in our government structure, in this case, but in the republican cult of personality.

      It sucks but the Republicans won a very narrow victory in the house senate and president. No matter what system you have, if it’s at all democratic that party makes all the decisions. The problem is there making the decision to standby and watch as a demented oaf flushes the country down the toilet
