“We should avoid the facile assumption that cabinet durability necessarily spells regime stability. In fact, it is considered more plausible to think of cabinet durability as a sign of executive domination over the legislature. And few if any observers of parliamentary democracies would want to argue that overbearing executives and subservient legislatures are more conducive to the health and stability of democratic regimes than balanced executive-legislative powers.” Arend Lijphart, 1984.
Esta pequena citação diz exactamente o que penso de governos de salvação nacional e apelos à estabilidade. A democracia representativa também é isto: tumulto, governos que caem, ministros aos gritos no parlamento, deputados aos berros uns com os outros. O mundo político cor-de-rosa só existe na cabeça de quem tudo quer ordenar.
Sem a menor dúvida.
