      I would recommend verifying that your government doesn’t have 3/4 of the system based solely on gentleman’s agreements, non-codified precedent, and rules that the politicians can change on their own at any time.

      Also replace any sort of First Past The Post election system of there is one, clearly it just allows a minority to take over once they are smart enough to do the math.

      FPTP results in an inevitable two party system over time, and it only takes one of them realizing they don’t actually need a majority, and can ignore the other party if their goal is destroying the institution getting in their way.

      Fundamentally that’s all it has taken for the US to come to this point so quickly. One party, with power fueled by the FPTP system, who are trying to make the government function poorly to the point they can justify unilaterally changing it.

        All you listet doesnt apply to german election system and its not gentlemens agreement. Bundesrat bundestag in germany and switzerland and the Switz chambers are with laws and rules. Germanys system was litterly created to ensure such as nazis wont take power ever again
