3. What is most important is NOT who gets elected or the election process but: (a) the popular mindset and (b) the role of government. “Reforms” like term limits or instant runoff voting are basically irrelevant gimmicks. The popular mindset in most countries is in favor of big meddlesome government. Few governments seem to operate within the concept of a limited government – that is, government that exercises only those powers it is explicitly authorized to have.

I’m guessing once people realized that they got over their “Clegg-mania.” Even now the Brits want to control their own monetary policy and not cede those powers to Berlin.
Do you have a preference about the presidential system we have in the states vs the parliamentary system so prevalent in Europe?
