The Montfort Plan - Experimenting with Parliamentarism

[Sestak]

The plan does seem well thought-out. However, I have a major grievance against parliamentary systems which I would like addressed. My number one issue is civil liberties, and I take some comfort in the fact that any government infringement of those liberties needs to pass three separate groups: House majority, Senate majority, and President. In this system, however, any authoritarian anti-Liberty policies could be passed with just 50.001% of the unicameral Parliament.

Also, I feel like the Shadow Cabinet system would discourage newer members, as party leaders would have a tendency to only pick longtime members and personal friends for those positions. And I also fear that being an Independent politician would be much less feasible in this system.
