Germany.

And the French mayoral system has quite a lot of autonomy.
UK is the outlier really with an over-centralised government.

I was always for stronger federal Europe, weaker Westminster, and stinger and effective local government.
But that ship departed in June 2016 (maybe to return after 2030)

I deliberately left the Germans and French out as they have a larger land area.

Italy....
They run their local 'communes' with great authority.

It's almost like you can have better sovrintee if you do it like the Europeans do it.

Someone is giving Italy as an example of how to run a country?!

i forgot the reason I always remember Belgium is they managed to run without an elected government in place for over a year - google says it was 589 days.

They've got a facist coalition. It's a dream for some in the UK.

Can't help thinking the Cons have reached their sell y date, all we got with Truss was a copy of oris's government, what they really needed to do was get shut of all the familiar faces and start again, because every time I look at her I see oris's methods all over again.

Which is a shame because at one bit they seemed to have got their act together. Then Covid hit and it all turned to poo again.
