<:what:382980756139409409> But how

Don't worry we proved it by running a Business Democrat as an Evil Republican

Because we don't vote for parties @Deleted User

Europeam coalitions dont exist in britain as they do in the netherlands

It's just an arbitrary label for politicians @Deleted User

In the netherlands the political system still functions

Anyone can call themselves a republican in the US

Britains political system doesnt even function as intended

@Deleted User My state had 7 Republicans running against each other last year

`only registered Republicans can vote in Republican Primary Elections and sign nomination petitions for Republican candidates.`

how is it not a party?

That's a state policy

I don't have to register for anything

to do what

Vote, petition, etc

Im gonna vote in the eu election this year

you don't have to register with a party to vote elsewhere either

IM gonna vote for the eurosceptic party

@Tero But when voting in euro elections, you vote for a party at some point, right? Theres a check box next to a party name

To have a place in the eu

<:HonkHonk:566814473646768128>

idk how european elections work
here it's person

MPs and so on can change party mid term

@Tero yes, that's my point

here being australia

EUROPEAN UNION ELECTIONS, SENATE ELECTIONS, WATERMANAGMENT ELECTIONS, PRIME MINISTER ELECTIONS

We got a shit ton of elections to partake in

Well you're more similar to American elections than Europe at this point @Tero

We even got a election in wether we wanted the Aivd to gain extra spy privilige on us

And we happend to vote yes <:makes_you_think:382980749780844554> <:HonkHonk:566814473646768128>

@Deleted User But is it people on the ballot, or a party?

People

People on the ballot

You cant vote for the party you have to vote for the person which is in that party

i should say though, ours says people but also the party they're running with

and most people understand it as voting for a party

So really, I'm not even criticizing either of your systems

I'm criticing the ones where your vote is for an impersonal party

are the EU elections actually like that tho

like didn't the UKIP EUMEPs defect to brexit party

In the eu elections we vote for the person
