Parliamentary forms of government have some advantages. But I also remember the downsides, like Italy in the late '70s, when the government was dribbling around like a Harlem Globetrotters basketball.

Democracy has gone from the direct form, eg, Athens, through various forms of representative democracy to where we are today.
In most parliamentary systems, there is a form of agency outside the political realm, which is tasked with control of forming governments.

These non-political agents have no policy power. In England, it is the monarchy. In France, it is the office of the President.
The Prime Minister sets and executes policy. Sometimes, one party may not have enough seats in legislature to form a government directly.

ALRIGHT, TWITTER. Seeing a lot of show recos to get over lockdown blues. Welcome to a thread of all my favs.
A mix of some lesser-known shows, and some that have fans but could do with a wider audience. A few popular ones. All loved by me for various reasons.

1. Ófærð (Trapped)
Icelandic show about a small town that's entirely cut off by a storm, just as a headless corpse turns up. Human trafficking, arson, family feud combine in this atmospheric Nordic noir, led by the fantastic Ólafur Darri Ólafsson.
Streaming on @NetflixIndia.
