In recent years, we've observed an intriguing shift in electoral dynamics: UK elections are increasingly adopting a Presidential-style approach, while US elections are leaning towards a Parliamentary-style framework.
This evolution reflects broader changes in political strategy and voter engagement.
In the UK, the focus on party leaders has intensified, with campaigns often revolving around the personalities and policies of these figures, much like in the US Presidential elections. This shift reshapes how political messages are crafted and delivered, emphasizing individual leadership over party ideology.
Conversely, the US is seeing a rise in the importance of party cohesion and legislative agendas akin to Parliamentary systems.
This trend highlights the growing significance of collective, let's get this stuff done party platforms and Congress's role in shaping policy rather than solely focusing on the President.
The UK-US shift will be complete if Biden departs the presidential election with only 109 days to go.
Enjoy the ride + plan accordingly.
