I stated that I said I was studying Singapore, I did not say I understand how their system operates. You are guessing and making assumptions about who/what I am flirting with. My mind is very open to questioning what works and does not work. Currently, America's system is not working well and needs major checks and balances for authoritarian despots. That does not mean we have to allow thugs to rule our country. Let's find or create the best that will work for All The People.
It was what you said about how "certain rights" are sacrificed made me remember Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." I was also taken aback by what you said about people who misbehave being dealt with quickly.
I was not guessing. And a democracy does not need checks and balances for despots because democracies, as a rule, don't have despots. And wow, the sentence about thugs is hyperbolic. Perhaps you've forgotten that almost every democracy in modern times has been modeled after ours.

Um, parliamentary democracies (India, Israel, etc.) might have been modeled after the British.
