Re: If you could pick one thing to be uninvented or undiscovered what would it be?

"there are more democracies in the world working under the Westminster system, or adapted forms of the Westminster system"

This too is a pretty poor argument. I think you'll find that colonialism played a bigger role than the Westminster system being objectively better than the American system.

America colonized what exactly? Had a go at Cuba and the Phillipines, but not much else. Been hopping on the military-industrial complex and economic pressure more in terms of spreading our influence. But you can't exactly use the popularity of the Westminster system as a reason that it's better, all things considered.

And this:

"It's more prone to corruption and "gaming" "

is pretty difficult to prove considering that the US and the UK are quite frequently rated similarly in world democracy rankings.

Plus, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but everything you described about the American system...most definitely occurs in the Westminster system as well.
