European leaders have now not only lost faith in Donald Trump’s U.S. presidency, but also in America’s hegemony as a whole. But short-term challenges make an immediate divorce unwise.
Never thought about it like that. I think the unanimous voting system could really require policy makers to push things in small increments that can easily be overseen and are often hard to decypher. I’ve always seen as unnecessary rigidity. But I guess it really does have its benefits. Thanks for the change in perspective!
It also gives some boundaries what can be done. Single lunatic voted in can’t do unlimited damage before next election. But it’s not a “hard rule”, even big changes can be made somewhat quickly if there’s sufficient majority behind the change, there just very rarely is. Also, small changes are easier to sell to their peers, so slow and steady changes are kind of built in to the system from the ground up.
