Dumb or dumber.
I want multiple party representation in our government A parliamentary system, I suppose. That allows for representation based on party support. For instance, if the Libertarians get 10 percent of the vote, they should have 10 percent of the representation in parliament. The Green Party should have its fair share. Same for the socialists. The Republicans and Democrats, too. It'd sure beat the two-party system we have now. And if no party has a clear-cut majority, then let's have two parties banding together to form a ruling coalition government. At least in a parliamentary legislative body, minority parties get some voice, some representation. Under our present system, if you aren't a Democrat or a Republican, you have virtually no say. You have to be affiliated with one party or the other. Yes. Dumb or dumber. --Jim Broede

We Americans used to scoff at the elections in the Soviet Union. Because all the candidates were communists. Well, in America, we offer a Republican and a Democrat. And too often that adds up to two gawd-awful choices. Somewhat similar to what they used to do in Utah. Offering a convict awaiting execution the opportunity to either be hanged or shot to death. --Jim
