Apologies to you personally, Charles, but the screwed-up two-party electoral
system pretty much guarantees polarization and government by the mentally ill,
and so the aggregate earns that coat of paint, even if many, many individuals
do not.
Well, the screwed up multi-party system in Canada outputs some pretty
weird results too, Jan, I believe that you are in the N. Saanich and
Gulf Islands riding, correct? It is perhaps the most liberal riding in
the country. So who did they elect to represent them a few years ago?
Why a conservative MP. We're not just talking conservative, we're
talking Steven Harper mentally ill Conservative . The Liberals, NDP and
Greens split the vote to allow 30% of the population control the riding.
How is that better. Yeah, I know, the two liberal-ish parties later
agreed to sit back and allow the Greens to take the seat.
The only fair election is some sort of ranked choice voting scheme.
Don't the Ozzies have something like that. Might prevent debacles like
what's happening in Israel right now.
