Ideal Government Structure: Three Branches Of Power

Now that I have been gathering information from several governments and analyzed their strengths and flaws, my ideal government would look a lot like the United Kingdoms and Swedens. I will now go into more detail about this topic. In my ideal governmental the parliament would be divided into three branches. The House of lords where there are specialists in different fields and use their knowledge to examine laws and criticize the government. The House of Commons where the members of the parliament (MP'S) brings up the UK's citizens concerns and interest on their behalf to spread the matters on the public and press. Lastly but not least, the Congress where the parties suggest proposals and vote about important issues. They also decides the new laws and the government will be the one to enforces them. As I have mentioned this twice, I think the House of Lords and House of Commons are something that is good at raising the citizen's voices and preventing the administration from doing actions that will harm the people and the environment. I also thought that it was necessary to add a Congress inspired by the Swedish parliament where the parties with the most votes suggest proposals and vote for different matters that will affect the people of the country.

In the parliament there’s limit on how many parties there can be. The 8 parties with the most votes will have a place in the Congress house which has 449 mandates and the more votes you have the more place you'll get. The party that has the majority of the votes will lead the new government. There are two ways to vote for politicians to have a place in parliament or the government, by voting in politicians from the parties in the general election where they become MP's or voting for a party for the big governmental election. I have decided to have the voting system like Sweden because I find it much easier to understand compared to the US, UK, and South Africa's voting system. The US, UK, and South Africa all three have a similar voting system. They vote for people and not the party. In the US the citizens vote for elector and the candidate with the most electors wins the election. The amount electors the state has is determined by how many civilians that live there.

I think it would be better if the people could directly vote for who should become their president. The United Kingdom has nearly an identical voting structure, the only difference is that the electors are called MP's and they vote for which political party should be the new government instead of president. The civilians in South Africa does vote directly but they concentrate mainly on the candidate who will become the President if the party wins the elections. In Sweden, you can vote for a party mainly because of a certain politician but often when people discuss about the parties and sometimes why the voted that party, most of the times the people discuss about what difference the party will make and what their politics stands for.

I like the idea of voting for a team and not a single player. To vote you have to be 18 and a citizen. The reasoning for this is because of the young teens that have just entered the adulthood should be considered as an adult too by getting to vote in the election. Also due to the fact, the election wouldn't be taken seriously by the minors and the end result would be a disaster. If we take the US election in 2016, there were rumors blown up over the media that thousands of people voted for a dead gorilla named Harambe or voted for Trump as a joke. Even though it only is a rumor, it wouldn't surprise me if this would happen when someone decides it would be good to let minors to vote.
