Is there any hope?

What is going on in Mongolia? Usual picture. Some tiny demonstrations and arrests of those who spoke ill of the Government. One of the publicly well-known persons named Ch.Munkhbayar has been arrested and locked up. He has been very critical of the Government's policies, especially of those related to China. 

Ridiculously he was prisoned on charges of spying against China! Never heard of a country which charges own citizen for spying against a third country. And this charge is not even legitimate. Another funny excuse from the former communists to shut up one of its opponents. Remind my reader that the former communist party is currently in power in Mongolia, thanks to the last fraud election results. 

This party, named Mongolian People's Party (they removed the word "Revolutionary" from its official name) has been ruling for over 20 years since 1992, but things gotten worse. They can't run a country. They claim to have become a Social-democratic party now, but you know, you better never trust the communists. 

What we need is a system change! Parliamentary form of Government does not suit us! We need to change it and choose the presidential form of Government. 

I think the choice depends on the culture, tradition and lifestyle of the people, whether to choose the parliamentary or the presidential form of government. Mongols are nomadic people in origin and tend to like to have more a sole leader as the "boss" than a group as ruler. We like to see a responsible leader who's head can be "cut off"  if things go wrong.  In parliamentary system there is no such a leader who can be held accountable in the end.

Our current system of governance (parliamentary form of government) has been used by ill-fated people who got into the Parliament at any cost, to enrich themselves and take advantage of  it only for their own good. The downside of this system- no one can be held responsible and accountable- has been used to avoid any charges yet do whatever they please to make profit, using their positions and influence on executive branch.

I believe that the parliamentary form of government is more suited to people who have a sedentary culture and a tradition to make decisions   collectively than being ruled by one leader. 

The question is only whether or not our  political parties (over 30 now) are willing to do it. The answer is no. They all swear that the current parliamentary form needs to be "improved" and "democratized". So there is no hope. The only hope is that the people understand it and fight for it. They need to flood the streets and demand that change. 

The question is, again, if the people can do it. By tradition our people have no experiences or knowledge of how to fill  streets.  It is about being consistent and accept sacrifices.  I think all this is too strange and foreign to us.  So there is no hope, again. Sad.
