The unfamiliar word.

I want proportional representation in the U.S. Congress. In other words, if socialists get 10 percent of the vote in a national election, then the socialists should have 10 percent of the seats in Congress. If the Tea Party gets 2 percent, let 'em have 2 percent of the say. Give everybody a voice. And a vote. I like the idea of nobody having a distinct majority. That's the way it is in most European parliaments. Multiple parties have to work together. Forming a concensus. Coalition governments. Where there has to be give and take. Compromise. Yes, compromise. A very unfamiliar/foreign word in American politics. --Jim Broede
