The only good argument is the lack of oversight but I assume that should or has to be in process, centralism isnΒ΄t that bad especially now with 1p1v were basically everyone should be able to run for president regardless of clan or other shananigans.
Of all the issues discussed, that was your only take-away? If so, then it does not appear you have read the whole thread, or your grasp of politics is not very good.
Postscript:
I am in a jolly good mood, let me highlight some of the major issues:
- Usurpation of FMSs powers, now assumed by the FGS, incl:
- Elections,
- Land ownership,
- Natural resources,
- Removal of the power-sharing requirement with the Powers of the Executive now wholly concentrated in the Presidency with the PM reduced to a mere facsimile,
- Removing Shari'a, and instead introducing 'Xeer' [
derived from non-Islamic customs and traditions] opening the door for:
- Civil partnership and abortion,
- Alienation of Somalis in occupied territories equating them with refugees,
- Reinstating the infamous National security doctrine
- Banishing Miranda rights,
- Constraining freedom on enquiry,
- Constraining freedom of congregation,
- Doing away with the Presumption of innocence principle,
- Awarding Power of declaring war to the Executive alone, with the Senator having no oversight,
- And so forth.
Now, which one of those do you consider trite and trivial?
