    Parliamentary systems are generally more stable and more populist-friendly than Presidential/Congressional systems.

    Also, the US Judiciary is a clusterfuck. Alternately the strongest and weakest branch depending on how daring the chief executive is feeling at a given moment. As much as America needs a parliamentary system, it needs judicial reform to match.

        Probably depends on what you mean by populist.

        • Enacts the popular-will of the people: sure, maybe
        • Stuffed full of people who will lie to the people just to be popular: sure, maybe.
