PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
The three current MPs for my region (Stephen Woodworth, Harold Albrecht and Peter Braid) are all Conservative, including Albrecht who has won my riding three elections in a row.
Question for you... what's your thoughts on the electoral college system? I'm not crazy about the fact that a simple majority in each state is enough to give all of the state's electoral votes toward a candidate. Take California, for example, with their 55 -- wouldn't it be better to break up the state into 55 proportional voting regions and then tally up the results for each region independently to count toward each candidate's total? A NoCal farming region is going to give a very different result from a Palm Springs-type region, but you'd never know from all the 55 votes going to one candidate.
I've wondered what it'd be like here to have the prime minister popular vote counted separately from the vote for a MP - do you guys like doing it that way for President or would rather vote for a representative to sit in D.C. and the candidate with the most representatives (a.k.a. seats) becomes President?
