Well I can't call a Paki a Paki without losing my job. Can call them anything ranging from shithead to cunt though.

They want to ban my fags too, tell me how much beer should cost, how much sugar I should have and all opinions should be pretty bland when talking about protected groups.

^ Just a generalisation. Not really against the Bernster.

they don't want to ban cigs, at least not until they can figure out how to recoup the 13bn in revenue tobacco tax rakes in (plus the cost of treating smoking-related illnesses - estimated to be 3-6bn a year - for the next 20-30 years)

also, it was Dave the Pigfucker who slapped a tax on sugar, not Jezza Lenincorb

It has roots in the leftist agenda though and yep pretty much. Funds a good portion of the NHS, yet receives a good portion of the blame for it buckling.

You think a majority of Bernie supporters want an authoritarian government? :offended:

It's easy to see how something fails, not so easy to see a holistic solution.
Get rid of the 2 party system ?, limit the money involved ?, rework the donation process ?, reduce election time from 18 months ? (seriously set up online voting it'll be sorted in a few days).
What would a non two party system look like? How does the message get through with limited money? Rework the donation process in what way?

I'm just trying to point out that it's easy to criticize a failed idea after the fact, andextemely more difficult to come up with solutions that may have unintended issues, or solutions that won't be manipulated to he'll and back.

Well in this particular scenario, just get rid of super delegates. But I'm pretty sure a lot of democracies have a non 2 party system, what message when concerning the money ?, and you could limit the amount that can be donated - to level the playing field. Shit, get rid of it all together and make the candidates run with nothing but the clothes on their back.

I hate the excuse "well, it's easy to criticise but...". I'm some dude sat on my arse who can see a problem, is it my job to fix it ?, no I fully admit I am not smart enough. If everyone kept their mouth shut though we'd all still be living under monarchies. It's how progressive societies work, every right that we have has been fought for by people who probaly didn't have a clue either and even with that said I have come up with some sound proposals.

I mean your congressmen (edit: Sorry Greeky, Americas ;) ), they are in all but law getting bribed for their vote. That leaves the door wide open for conflict of interests.

Err, have a look at most parlementary democracies in Europe; think the Brits are the only ones who also have a 2 party system. Not to say that it's definitely the best form of government mind, it has it's flaws for sure - in a multiple party system things tend to get compromised to death for instance. But it sure seems more democratic, doesn't it.

We ain't 2 party, we have a left(ish) that's split by Labour, Lib Dems, SNP, Greens and the right with racists and pig fucking blue nosed cunts. The last government was a coalition, most Brits find that surprising too.

With the fptp system, it'd be better to have a 2 party set up. The only advantage is that probaly groups such as UKIP get marginalised but you could have 49% of your country vote for left wing politics yet have a right wing government in a winner takes all scenario, which is what happened last time. Shit, I don't think they had 37% of the vote.

It's a bitch.

Oh, right - forgot about that. I guess that means we have no 2 party system in the whole of Europe then.

Thinking about it, you can have more than 2 candidates in America, innit ?. It's just that it'd cost more than most are worth.

Trumpo wanted to do it ?.

I don't really care about politics anymore, but if I had to pick someone out of the current lineup I'd go with Trump. :up:

Do you really care so much that you're taking this as some kind of ploy to undermine your support for Trump ?
