Re: The importance of the seperation of powers
[ QUOTE ]
I think the verdict of history is that separation of powers just isn't necessary. Lots of Western countries have much more unitary governments than the US and do just fine.
Also, this thread is exactly what people think of when they say "AC hijack." Not so much because tom's point is irrelevant, but because 2/3 of the posts in this thread are about it and he still hasn't actually made any kind of point.

Really? Of the few things I still believe from high school civics, the separation of powers and our adversarial system are core. IMO it's the reason gets such good outcomes without needing "technocrats". Could you elaborate?
