The Morality thermometer and the How to yell at a liberal are too funny. Good find T.

America haters!

[taranaki]

Blindside demonstrates the one-eyed stupidity of the compulsive Republican beautifully. America may be stifled by a two party system, but over here it doesn't neccesarily follow that if you are not a neocon you are automatically a democrat. Given a crappy electoral system such as yours, I'd vote Democrat simply to deny one fuckwit right-winger his vote, but in a civilised election,I'd vote for neither..

Which begs the question....If the Republicans are so hell-bent on installing democracy at gunpoint in Iraq, why did they not install the US version?
2 candidates, take it or leave it?

Just wondering ut considering that the US is the oldest democracy in the worlld (yes I know its a republic, however republics have elections for representatives) then how can you call it crappy. Don't fix what isnt broken.

And also how does youre second point relate to your first at all Naki?

Carry on everyone.

Yeah, its not like all those major parties in New Zealand like the Labour and National.... Wait, they have almost 10% in the New Zealand First Party. Cool. The first two are as similar as the dems and pubs here and the third reads about the same as the libertarian party and has about as many state seats, but WE are the ones stifled by a two party system.

Blindside - thats a classic.

Very true of the party of the KKK.

Please teach us with proof as to how the US is the oldest democracy in the world when the Greeks were doing it 2000 years ago.

Often, neither of the major parties has the majority required to form a government on it's own. Deals have to be done with the smaller parties to form coalition governments.

This means that during the term of a government, it is possible to call for a vote of no confidence (usually by the opposition parties) in parliament to test the resolve of the coalition.

This also makes it possible to change governments mid-term.
