In well functioning democracy the government policy shouldn't flipflop constantly and president shouldn't have enough power to break everything.

In Europe, president's power is much more limited, there are more political parties and one party winning elections doesn't immediately change the country's policy to everything, even winning parties need to consider opinions of other parties. So overall country's policy more closely reflects the average opinion of the whole population instead of just the currently ruling party. Changes are much more slow and gradual and a single leader change doesn't immediately affect that much.

Politics are boring as they should be.

Yes, a nice boring decline into global irrelevance. Sorry, but being leader of the free world does not allow much room for boredom.
