New Blog: Divided We Stand, United We Fall

What’s the best form of government? The blog Divided We Stand, United We Fall thinks it’s one where both sides are running the country.

Check out the post “Thesis: Divided Government is Better Government. A Lot Better. Really.” and tell me what you think.

I’ve also added them to the blogroll.

    Thanks for the link. Gridlock is indeed a good thing, but the benefits of divided government go quite a bit deeper. There’s been a surprising amount of scholarship on divided government in the US. If you are interested, there are some links in this post to analysis showing that: spending growth is restrained; better and longer lasting legislation is passed; major wars are less likely; oversight is strengthened; and constitutional checks and balances are reinforced under divided government.

    After six years of single party control, the last few months have been like a breath of fresh air.
