It's an outrage that majority of votes decided an issue in a democracy. I mean, how can America be democratic when it doesn't take into account the views of the minority?
Sarcasm?
I won't take the blame this time for thread drift. I was only quoting Hawkmoon, so blame him.
Anyhow, I'd like to see a ten-party* system.
"But nothing would get done !"
Right. Unless a coalition of minorities could get together and take a common stand. Quite possibly the most fair way to have a representative government... and I don't mean minorities in the ethnic sense, but I'm not
excluding that, either.
A ten-party* system has its disadvantages, of course, but there's a lot to be said for it.
The two-party system is broken. I suppose it's supposed to be fair with the "checks and balances" system in place, but at present, all three branches of the checks and balances system are in cahoots with one another.
