And you think Ireland won't have taxes? Ha that's hilarious. But the west way to stop complaining about taxes is just to move to Norway or Sweden... Taxes will never bother you again once you leave there.

Despite the major problems that a two party system has?Well idiocy, but I guess cause you study it you must be right (bullshit).

Well, okay, educate me, what you think are the pros and cons of your system. Also what you find so bad about the German system.

Parliamentary system (which is the system of most countries):
-Judicial, Executive, and Legislative branches vested in one body, Parliament. (rampant possibilities for corruption)
-Prime Minister, which is elected by the House of Commons, and wields supreme executive and legislative power
-ceremonial duties carried out by a President (or king and queen in a monarchical system)
-states have no individual powers
Now Germany is a federal parliamentary representative democratic republic...wow. I don't even think I want to understand that.
Federal system (United States):
-Judicial, Legislative, and Executive branches separate with powers (checks and balances) over each other, to keep each other in check.
-President serves both ceremonial and executive duties, has no power over legislature.
-states are autonomous and have separate powers from federal government.
Now, I am by no means an expert, but I like the federal system a lot better

Ya but it is in our insurance etc, in the taxes or somthing, we pay it in other things, so really it is not so free. We do not pay it our directly when we may have an operation like they do in USA for example, but we do still have to pay health insurance in another way.

Well, you should really, really check out Germany, we are a kind of mix between the two. You might like it.
Also, I think you got some facts about the parliamentary system wrong.
The three branches are separated in most countries I believe.

Here is where you are wrong, the law making branch just makes the law but has no influence on anything else, the rest carries it out and judges. Ministers and whatever have no influence at all, if they want to change anything they need to change the law. To change the law would require a 50% majority in favor of it. And I'm not sure if Germany has this but an overseeing house to agree with it as well. At least that's the case in Holland.
-Prime Minister, which is elected by the House of Commons, and wields supreme executive and legislative power
Only not really, the prime minister is the head of state like the President in the US. But she in this case still has to answer to other body's of government. Still needs those things to agree and still needs people to be on her side in order for her to change things. She's just the head of the country but not the one that decides everything
-ceremonial duties carried out by a President (or king and queen in a monarchical system)
-states have no individual powers
A system of Federal government regulating the law everywhere creates simple laws in a country where nothing changes if you cross state lines. It also makes things clearer for the people removes difference between states and gives the same funding to the same people throughout the country. Making sure it basically does not matter where you live, I can only be happy with moves like this. Federal government should make the laws.
States however do often have power, not in law making powers but they do have some power in how those laws are executed, which things are considered more important then others and where the government money is spend on.
Now Germany is a federal parliamentary representative democratic republic...wow. I don't even think I want to understand that.
Easy it's a republic represented by a parliament that is democratically chosen. Pretty much the same as the US, only the US doesn't have a parliament.
Federal system (United States):
-Judicial, Legislative, and Executive branches separate with powers (checks and balances) over each other, to keep each other in check.
As is the case in Germany. The US still has people that make laws don't they?
-President serves both ceremonial and executive duties, has no power over legislature.
The same in Germany, they can propose new laws however but it's still parliament which is a representation of the people that have to agree with these laws.
-states are autonomous and have separate powers from federal government.
Which is not something I would consider a good thing in most situations.

ireland has a motherf*cking pile of taxes... the less money you have, the more tax you pay... healthcare is a joke unless you can afford insurance, and the premiums are huge, as only one company has a monopoly and charges what it likes...
