      @Hello Hallo No, I'm attacking people who think that a chancellor being in his position in a parliamentary republic for a long time and a president being in his position in a presidential republic is the same thing. That sort of rhetoric is defending what is practically an usurpation of power in Russia by seeking to normalize it. Germany is still a democracy after having Merkel for 20+ years, Putin in his 20+ years has collected all of the political power in his own hands and is now effectively the dictator of Russia. Obviously there are also other factors involved, but a president having broader powers than a chancellor in their respective republics played a big role in this.

    • @ser6Ijvolk
      @ser6Ijvolk 3 роки тому +17

      @Hello Hallo Except it isn't and it does. A parliamentary republic is basically geared for safety at the expense of flexibility by having more checks and balances and putting less power into any single person's hands. As such, it can resist devolving into a dictatorship much better. Hence why all presidential republics that haven't descended into dictatorships have a term limit for the president and almost all parliamentary republics do not have one for a prime minister/chancellor.
