Am I correct in my understanding that they do the same thing in countries like England, France, Germany, Australia, Italy, Greece etc? Then again, they have votes of no confidence and can change things faster and don't need the 2 year campaigns that cost millions of dollars and only create polarization amongst the elected who can't seem to get things done except for the special interests.
