    To take a software analogy: of I think of the British implementation of Westminster as a group of teenage kids having written spaghetti code in VB many years ago, and now it has many important transactions that it must perform, that it cant be updated and any change to the code is approached with fear for the whole system failing.

    I dont understand why Australia seeks to establish the British political heritage. We have innovated far past Britain\'s achievements in political science. Even our states can look back at London and laugh at their pre-industrial structures and electoral technologies.

    It is also ironic that we follow British politics and American foriegn policy, when the Americans were the great political scientists and the British Empire had better foriegn policy than the current American manner of power politics, which they play, and play hard.

    I guess Britain will require a political leader that can say, lets rewrite it in python! But consensus will probably lead it to being written in perl or lisp.
