78 says but the US does have a severe problem with the concept.
The idea of separation of powers does not function well in today’s modern world with disciplined party members. In fact I would wager that the concept is mythical and unenforceable.
If the government of the UK can function in excellent manner without the concept then that is proof of it’s uselessness. The British government practices a concept called legislative supremacy where there’s no “separation”, no “checks”, and no “balances”. The government is totally run by the elected representatives who have the power to change anything at anytime without obstruction from the monarch, the Lords, or the courts.
The idea of an independent judiciary is another myth because the US political culture fights to the extreme for judges that are not independent but faithful to the proper ideology.
