I'm sorry that your country is in bad shape. I was just curious, not being critical. Maybe everyone on ASR needs to visit Croatia to bump up your tourism a bit. anyway, thanks for the info |

i'm going to lean towards no. and im not just being an american bashing canuck. look at congressman, they have a 95 percent chance of being reelected as incumbents. This is because they can use their office and taxpayer dollars to help their re-elections, through sending mail to all their consituents free of charge. certain things like that. As well the two party system to me does not fully represent the peripheral voters. Like for example a person might not support the Democrats, but they dislike the republicans more. they cant put their vote to something meaningful, like another party that can win seats in the senate or congress, because the system wont change to better allow it. So if one has to vote for a party that doesn't really represent them, just because another one is worse, that doesn't really represent a proper democracy, to me anyways. That being said, the multiple party system in Canada doesn't work perfectly, as people who don't like the conservatives (middle right) and think the liberals are crooks (middle left, and they are crooks) and like the ndp (further left), will still vote liberal because they know that the ndp wont win and they think the liberals are the lesser of two evils. to me this type of democracy isnt really democracy, when the big party's can use their pull to marginalize support for other parties claming ur throwing your vote away |

That's why we need to bring back the Whig Party. Or the Bull Moose Party (bully! -- down Teddy!)! |

Are you pointing out that you're a universal asshole by quoting this stuff with your reply? Or are you just watching your Siamese twin LSD's back? He's a big boy al- he can fight his own battles. |
