The United States has a lot of stuff in its history. It may not be long, but it is broad.

Well, here is an example I know from reading a book on Swiss history. For the second half of the 20th century the Federal Council, the executive, always had the same composition of parties. For the first 40 some years of the Federal government one party held all the seats on the council. Switzerland moves slowly towards change. I recall that recently a rising party had so many seats in the general parliament that finally they got one seat on the council. From comments made about voting or not voting for "Steady Freddy" I suspect Betan politics to be more... vigorous and less polite.
