Parliamentary America: The Least Radical Means of Radically Repairing Our Broken Democracy
The case for fixing American democracy by importing the parliamentary machinery rather than rewriting the values.
Maxwell Stearns argues that the pathologies of American politics follow from its electoral rules rather than its culture, and proposes proportional representation together with the institutional changes that would have to accompany it. The framing is that this is the least radical available fix, because it changes procedure rather than principle.
