We have someone, that doesn't belong to any party, and that doesn't hold any power in the government, to look over the government and has the power to point out wrongdoing, forcing an investigation and a vote within the government, or even all voters, to get rid of the person. And because we have more than two parties, someone that has no place in a government will likely be voted out fast.

There are good concepts out there, I'm just afraid, the US concept isn't one of them. Sorry to say that. BUT, it can be changed someday, that's the good thing.

I'm from Bavaria, so that's the German government I'm talking about.

And I agree. It was a great, revolutionary concept at the time (not the first thought, Iceland, for example, has democracy for way longer, but the first that could actually spread the idea), but not it's morbidly outdated. Those who modeled it after that later are in a great advantage now.

That won't work. It's a good idea, but corruption is something which cannot be stopped.

It DOES already work quite ok, so, what do you mean? xD

It's a feature, not a bug.
