A Parliamentary System Can Greatly Help Improve Government Office Performance

It just reminded me of how there's a slogan that says, "Want to earn money while sleeping? Work for the government!" That's really what I'd call something that should never be and never be done. A government is what keeps said country in control. Government agencies are supposed to be there to help regulate society in its functions. However, you have the problem of government agencies that fail to do their job because of a scenario government offices have become an escape route when you get fired from your regular private job. But is the problem to why that's happening just the people or the system itself?

So how can a parliamentary system fix the current problems of government offices and underperformance in contrast to a presidential system? Presidential is all about popularity-based system -- both the majority and minority bloc are only focused on popularity than credibility. On the other hand, a parliamentary system has both blocs focused head-on in the parliament. Both the majority bloc and minority bloc keep an eye on each other. The minority bloc has their shadow ministers or work as a shadow cabinet. A parliamentary system has a real debate and direct scrutiny towards everyone including the highest position in the land -- which in turn will help government offices get better.

There's one good reason why one agency to deal with cleaning up the government alone isn't enough. True, there's the need for the Ombudsman or the public representative in relations to public complaints against officials. The scenario is there are too many rats (corrupt officials) and too little cats (Ombudsman staff). Can you really deal with that many rats with so few cats? The scenario is a few cats are never enough. However, a parliamentary system offers a real genuine Opposition in the form of the Minority Bloc. You can think of how having watchdogs from the opposition can actually help the whole process. It's because they mirror each other out one way or another.

Kicking out morons out of their posts in a presidential system is easier said than done. How can you say that? Let's think about the problem of the government offices themselves. Why do you think that it's hard to monitor the chairmen/chairwomen or secretaries in said departments? It's hard to scrutinize them especially in accepting employees to work under them or firing employees from their posts is easier said than done. On the other hand, a parliamentary system can make it easier. I could imagine how many anomalies would have been quickly axed under a parliament. Can you imagine how cases like money under the table or sleeping customs can be axed? The watchdog from the opposition will end up assisting the ombudsman in doing its job. It would help getting rid of the rats much faster. Just for an illustration -- try to get one cat to deal with a hundred rats. That cat would be guaranteed to do a bad job. However, get several cats to deal with the hundred rats and you're guaranteed to clean the posts much faster than just a few cats!

Just imagine it if ministers of every government agency are already being summoned at the parliament at a regular basis and that they have to face their shadow ministers. I couldn't imagine the faces of any incompetent minister when the shadow minister presents data against their poor duty. Said minister of said government office will have a very high chance of getting expelled from duty. Can you imagine how every minister will have to account for what goes on? Every little detail goes and it means that either they shape up or ship out. That means even pocketing funds will be much less because accounting scrutiny will be even greater than what the presidential system could offer!
