Was previously ambivalent to this issue but the US election has given me some misgivings about the presidential system: is there anything to stop it becoming a "popularity contest" instead of the contest of party policy it should be? The fact that PM-turned-dictator (lol) Recep Erdogan wants to constitutionally amend Turkey into a presidency has also made me think about it.
There's many arguments, for both sides, regarding government accountability, stability, checks and balances,etc. But I'll let you peeps talk.
I was also more or less on the fence. Now I don't know too much about the parliament but with the American system the way it is now I feel like it's just going in a bad direction. Like you said it's getting to be a high school style popularity contest anymore. And both sides are so corrupt. In short I'm not sure if I think that the parliament is necessarily good but it looks heavenly by comparison.
