On April 16, the Canadian Commission that runs the national candidate debates removed the Green Party leader from the debates, on the grounds that the party doesn’t have enough candidates for Parliament. See this story. The party still has candidates in most districts, but removed some to help defeat the Conservative Party. See this story. As the story says, a parliamentary candidate only needs 100 signatures.

Don’t ask the AZ spambot to think. It isn’t programmed to think.
Jim Riley, what’s your own answer to that question?
Right now, Switzerland has the best constitution. A true federal system with separation of powers and divided sovereignty.
One of the best features of that Constitution is the joint executive. A seven member council holds executive power and rotates the largely ceremonial office of President once each year.
Curbing executive power is at the heart of preserving republican constitutions. There is a strong tendency toward monarchy is just about all cultures that has to be consciously resisted to prevent tyranny.
The US was fortunate to have George Washington as its first President because he was conscious of the monarchic tendency, and established precedents, such as a two-term limit, that curbed his own power. But, over the years successive Presidents, including his own successor John Adams, slowly expanded the executive power over time, to the point that today Presidential power is almost irresistible.
Switzerland is communist.
Switzerland has elements to its system which prevented various bad things for longer than they took to take root in other countries, but at this point most of what made Switzerland in general better is nevertheless gone or almost gone.
The impediments any constitution can pose to systemic rot are limited. All constitutions are subject to amendment, replacement, and vast differences in practical application from what is written, no matter how hard they try.
Executive power is far from the only problem. Judicial tyranny is a big one. Unelected bureaucratic tyranny, entirely unforeseen in the US Constitution, is another. The power of so called foundations , NGOs and various other globalist institutions is often overlooked.
Generally, it’s most important to rein in government power by, among other things, making it as local as much as possible, and apply only or at least primarily to justice / law enforcement at the local level and national defense, national security and border security at the larger level. Even those things can in some portion be local more than national, e.g. Civil defense system and other things along the line of the militia contemplated in the US Constitution (and no, the national guard as currently constituted ain’t it).
While executive power is certainly a problem, in some ways at the moment it is actually becoming a potential bulwark against judicial, bureaucratic, and NGO/Globalist overreach. It might also work around to helping curb some of the undue influence of multinational corporations with their globaloney partners, as well as of the corrupt miseducation, lying fake news dying establishment media, and infotainment/propaganda complexes. All those have been thoroughly infiltrated and corrupted by organized termites over a century, creating an almost seamless system of global social control and opinion manipulation regardless of what any constitutions may say.
If you want a constitution that may stand the test of time, make it as short, sweet and difficult but not impossible to change as possible, and don’t even try to cover hundreds of millions of people, or even tens of millions if you can avoid it. I’m not an expert on how you’d write that up and don’t need or want to be. That’s for y’all.
But in the US , dissolving the union still seems like the best option. Or at least and or complimentarily going in directions started in by Trump and DOGE and those contemplated by Curtis Yarvin et all. Dissolving the European Union, NATO, the UN, and other such things would also be great. Withdrawing the US from as many of those as possible would be a great step. There are lots of others, some already beginning to naturally occur, but I digress.
While painted as dictators or wannabe dictators by the lying fake news, leaders like Trump, Putin, Bolsonaro, Duterte, Pinochet, Franco, Lukashenko, Orban, Meloni and many others are to various extents actually bulwark against far worse tyranny and dictatorship, particularly of the globalist variety. Those not yet elected such as Farage, LePen and the AfD are in that same general category. Contrary to persistent lies from Fabian and Marxist termites in all the institutions of public opinion manipulation, none of the ones I named are fascists, and fascism itself is on the left, not on the right, and always was.
Even the most cursory examination of world history everywhere demonstrates that unchecked executive power is the main driver of tyranny everywhere.
The constitutional impact of courts is mainly negative, AS IT SHOULD BE. There needs to be an institution that can say “No” to unchecked executive power.
“Globalism” is an amorphous term that can mean whatever it’s users want it to mean. Today, it usually means free trade and liberal immigration,
Globalism actually means communism. Globalism is evil.
“Globalism actually means communism”
See? It means whatever its users want it to mean.
Globalism is indeed fabian with Marxist dictatorship in the name of the proletariat as its logical end point. Thus, Ron is correct. The real beneficiaries are of course elites. The actual proletariat get screwed, whether in communist or nominally capitalist countries, and Marxism as well as Fabian progressive cancer is the opposite of a cure as to why. The stateless utopia which is supposed to emerge from Marxist dictatorship is a pipe dream.
