the problem with our third parties is that they are often single issue and not broad like the Dems and Repubs
Well the way your system is set up makes it very hard for smaller parties to stand a chance, right?
In Sweden it is enough with 4% of the total votes in order to gain access to the parliament, for anny party
in a sense yes
its one of the potential outcomes of first-past-the-post
other countries circumvent this via party coalitions
We currently have 8 parties in the national parliament, two coalition blocks and one 'out cast' party (12.9%)
kinda like how UKIP and the Greens coalited in EU parliment to stop Art13 and 11(?)
yea
art. 13 and 11 have not yet been voted on in the EU parliament, i think?
I do think though that just having ONE other option in the US would do it some good
They voted to not have secret meetings and negotiate publicly instead
the third would inevitably have to be Moderate to maintain balance
I agreem the US sure does need some other options..
Having some to choose inbetween helps with solving both democratic issues and bi-partisan issues
About article 13 and 11, you're right, it was shut down!
Lucky me 😛
in regards to executive positions the primary process would likely cover 3 parties instead of 2 so it could potentially be longer
the Art 13 and 11 stuff aint over keep calling them Meps
basically instead of two tables at the poll during the primaries youd have 3
the only reason RNC and DNC exist is to narrow down candidates
through the primary
then the Super Delegates are SUPPOSED to function similarly to the Electoral College and vote with the constituents iirc
Yeah... The EU is doing alot it shouldn't.
I get the narrowing down principle, it makes sense for a party to do so.
But as you point out, at least one more option would probably do alot of good.
The super delegate part though, very strange!
and if it HAD to be between two parties then we would have to have an additional process after the primary to narrow things further
Super Delegates can be bought and honestly i think that they should be nonpartisan as a result
Man, if it had to be between two parties the corruption potential would be hughe
because they already have party biases
thats the problem we are dealing with
ofc they have. There should be no acctual delegates, only the result of the voting
DNC rigged the presidential primaries to ensure Hilarys win
yea ideally
i heard about that
very sad
id maintain the electoral college in regards to the over pres election though
popular vote aint always the smartest lol nor are electors at times but idk its a insurance thing if anything
like before typically electors just vote with the state
It may very well be an insuranse thing, but also a weak point
I remember hearing about that and the fact that bernie pulled a coward move and played for Hillary really showed me a lot
and since electors change based on population the way you campaign changes
Bernie did essentially cuck himself
Should I start another BLM page? The official one was some Australian guy having a laugh. And I'm an Australian guy that wants a laugh.. I could make them all do the Boiling water challenge and become cannibals or some shit
