In Australia it happened once: 1975 Australian constitutional crisis However, in general the situations like that are handled by Double dissolution. I think US would be wise to implement something similar.Practically, if the two houses of Parliament want to play chicken, the House of Representative sends the budget to the Senate again without changing. Should the Senate reject the same bill again, both houses are dismissed, and we are back to polling booths. Australian voting is mandatory and on Saturdays, so should that happen more than needed, there will be no such thing as a "popular politician" . Double dissolution sends packing everyone that matters - the Queen and Governor-General are excepted, but they don't really matter: the latter does as told, the former learns from the newspapers about what was done in her name. The 1975 Crisis happened because it happened after another double-dissolution, with no time to go to the polls. It was enough - these days Aussie politicians don't dare to cross into this territory. "Double dissolution" is actually spelled c-a-r-e-e-r s-u-i-c-i-d-e.
I think it depends on your point of view. For economic success, China seems doing pretty good. For technical excellence, Germany stands out. My choice, are the Nordic countries, something for everyone and economic success to boot.“he report, based on happiness levels for life expectancy, social support, freedom, trust, and generosity, shows one common link: the four top-ranking countries are all within the Nordic region. So why exactly are these countries so euphorically happy? It all boils down to the “Nordic model.”Combining free market capitalism with a comprehensive welfare state and collective bargaining at the national level, the Nordic model offers a healthy, safe, and well-grounded lifestyle for Scandinavian countries. While Nordic countries pay some of the highest taxes in the world and have a lower GDP per capita than the U.S. — which only ranked 18th on the list — their free healthcare and education make up for it in the long run. Nordic people don’t mind the tax burden so long as it directly correlates to their overall well-being.“We are the happiest because we are the most secure,” says Vassili Stroganov, a Danish writer at Delfinen Magazine. “There is a social safety net that protects us.”They also have a high percentage of workers belonging to a labor union, shorter days in the office, and longer paid vacations, freeing up more time to actually enjoy life.”World's Top 4 Happiest Countries Are All Nordic — Here's WhyHere’s the reference you used in your question:Why America is the World’s First Poor Rich Country – Eudaimonia and Co
What are some countries that have a democratic government? (other than U.S.)?
First his is The USA is not a democratic goverment it is a Republic. Which means we elect those who we think will make the corret or best decision/choice for us. This is why we still have the electoral college This link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_system_of_government will take you to a list of countries and types of goverments. You can search depending on the type of goverment you are wanting to find.
Let’s look at some examplesThe UK is a constitutional monarchy that exist with the assent of the people and they could change to a republic if they wanted to. The population doesn’t feel the need to be “liberated.”Most European monarchies are like that also.Saudi Arabia, an authoritarian monarchy that is in most ways in friendly terms with the USA. The American government is satisfied with the status quo and is probably wary of what would happen if the Saudis were replaced by a democracy whose allegeance would be in doubt. They remember what happened when their puppet monarch the Shah was deposed in Iran.So either the citizen of monarchies don’t want to be liberated or the American government prefers to have their despot in charge.
What countries have more freedoms than the US?
They say israel has freedom to brutalize the Palestinians at every opportunity. They torture and kill with total impunity! They use children as human shields just to protect their own cowardly butts! They deprive the women and children of food and water shipments as a whim! Nothing is too offensive to use against the Palestinians according to the jews of israel! When you have complete freedom to do as you chose, you can be as corrupt as Satan himself! Their brutal oppression will only beget total damnation from GOD! Do you believe this is a nation the US should be supporting?
Freedom to do what?Own a gun? Well there aren't many for this one. The United States beats out Canada, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Panama, Norway, Honduras… you name it! Gun violence is a separate matter.Drink alcohol? I don't think so! Just take a look at the map:Speak hate speech? It's protected in our constitution. I don't know of many other countries who have protections for this kind of thing.It's a pretty free country - that's for sure. There could be some restrictions, but there really is no denying that Americans (once they reach the age of about 25) are pretty free.The United States, like any other highly developed country, is pretty free. From there I don't really see how much you can rank “freedom”. But I can assure you it's not the “most free” country if you were to actually rank them - only because of some social issues that need to be fixed.
