Should Poland change its Government from Parliamentary to American Style Republic?

From reading the posts on this forum (i.e., Cross war in Warsaw, Poles starting first strike in America, etc.) maybe Poles are too individualistic for a Parliamentary form of Government (it gives too much power to the ruling party). A US style republic would give more power to minorities so as Polonia3 puts it, "they wouldn't feel so marginalized".

but, but.....isn't the form of government an extension of a particular society?

aphrodisiac but, but.....isn't the form of government an extension of a particular society? Yes, indeed it is. That's my point of the thread, maybe parliament is not a good fit for Poland's culture.

Meathead: A US style republic It's an interesting proposition.. but the EU sure as hell would not like it. They don't like your ties to the US already.

At present Poland ranks somewhere between a presidential system (US, France) and a chanclerian one (Germany et al). Being popualry elected, the Polish president wields more pwoer than his German opposite number but nowhere near that of the French or US chief executive. The PO has gone on record as saying it wanted to weaken the presidency, whilst PiS wants (wanted?) to strengtehn it. That was when Lech was in power, but now they don't mention it much anymore.

Poland should have something like parliamentary elective monarchy(for life, prime minister & president in one). I think it would work.

aphrodisiac why would they have it then? Poland's political history is about Golden Democracy which was a very diffused political system. Maybe they (Poles) need some modern update of that.
