I've heard the idea that drill sergeants abusing new recruits like you see in movies isn't actually a thing, not anymore anyways. It was a thing when new recruits were conscripted and didn't want to be there. Recruits today actually do want to be there and don't need any abuse to keep them in line.

I once saw someone stop and reverse on a roundabout because they missed their exit.
Also, grief doesn't happen in stages. Someone can have accepted something one day and are then upset over it the next. They haven't gone backwards, that's just how grief works.
Reminds me of when Canada lost internet to 12 million of it's 33 million people because one company messed up doing maintenance.
It's not a knee jerk reaction. You're one person out of 8 billion. I'm treating your request the way I'd treat any request made to me by a random person on the internet. <3
In parliamentary systems, the government needs to maintain the confidence of the majority. Any elected official can request a vote of confidence be held and, at least in Canada, certain votes are always considered votes of confidence (ex. the government's budget). If a confidence vote fails, parliament dissolves and can't do anything until a new parliament is formed. All seats are up for re-election. Since the government can't do anything until an election is held, they tend to happen very quickly.
The government can prevent a no confidence vote by swaying enough members. It's a bit of a non-issue if the current government already holds the majority of seats. If they don't hold a majority, they'll often make deals with a smaller party in exchange for their confidence. This can be as little as modifying a bill to as much as forming an official coalition and granting members of another party cabinet positions.
