From my brief visits to date, I really like Germany (not enough to live there mind - well maybe …)

So perhaps I should spend some time learning about their govt - it sounds interesting!

Coalition politics doesn't always work. Italy, iirc Greece too.

If you cite German politics as proving coalition is the ideal you need to factor in national character traits. I think German society is more unified than the UK and that isn't due to coalition politics it was that way before that came in I reckon.

The day British people become more Germanic in nature is the day coalition politics will happen and work like in Germany.

Actually Germany was re-booted after 1945, I think the Americans suggested the federal system, West Germany the BRD had an American zone, a French and a British, in part of the latter Scottish regiments were deployed complete with kilts and bagpipes, +1
'Jockxit' would be the word for the time they left

Bagpipes -1

Or attract canadians, Americans and new zealanders who claim Scottish ancestry. A clarion call for yanks looking for their clan tartan claiming to be the real clan chief or laird.
