Well good on him,I apologies for my error....SJ we manufacture here and export around the world,mostly everything BUT we do get some components from America because they are by far "world best" we can get from China but it is so much cheaper but totally crap.......................Americans are an educated workforce and world best in so many things,yet as a % you do by a lot of cheap rubbish.steve
This is why we are angry at both parties.
They each have passed policies that does us harm, but they refuse to fix them or repeal them or introduce new ones that work.
Not too long ago both parties in the House introduced new bills stolen from Trumps ideas.
They don't even have new ideas themselves I guess.
Excellent Peach...the trouble with most Politicians is,that they only serve themselves(and cronies) but not the American people...I will make a small point though......It is easy to spout what you think but if elected often hard to implement such lofty thoughts.........steven
I think pretty much of the majority already knows that.
This is why they are voting for non politician.
If the politician don't learn from the lesson they will find themselves in the unemployment line.
The real problem you have Peach IS.....that you only have a two party system...and really always have had.........in Australia we have 3 major parties plus a lot of independents which gives us real choice.......we have a compulsory voting system,which works well....(if you want to be part of society,then you should at least vote,you get fined $2000 if you don't vote) in America you do not have compulsory voting,the problem with this is that on average only 54% of the American voters actually vote for their President !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No wonder you all moan a lot,and no wonder you get average politicians in the main.
To me you have a very strange system of one party or the other going through this elimination process to get your final candidate to contest the Presidency,and along, during this process,you amazingly have candidates on the same side of politics,SLAGGING EACH OTHER OFF,calling each other lairs etc,.We have a Preferential System,where every candidate is numbered 1 to 4 in this case,according to the voters preference
Every vote counts here for example and example for you all to muse........eg Seat/District A (all candidates must be numbered in preference)........First Round Joe Republican 100 votes
Sam Democrate 95 votes
Tiny Dancer Sweetie 85 votes
Pheoall Dummy 75 votes
after the votes have been counted,Pheoall's votes as he came last(and drops out of the contest) are distributed as the voter wished,therefore :- the voters 2nd choices were of the 75 votes as follows.......Tiny Dancer......40 votes,......Sam Democrate...19 votes.....Joe Republican 16 votes
Making the vote......................................................Tiny Sw=125 votes
Joe Rep=116 votes
Sam Dem=114 votes
As Sam the Democrate got the lowest votes after distribution,they drop out and their votes are dispersed as follows by the voters......64 to Tiny Dancer,Sweetie Party and 50 votes to Joe the Republican.........the final Result........for the Seat/District A is Tiny Dancer,Sweetie Party..189 Votes to Joe Republican...166 Votes.....Tiny Dancer declared the Winner of the Seat,
we have circa 600 seats in Parliament,the leader of each party has already been decided ....the Party who wins the most Seats takes Government..steve
You may think this system takes hours to decide,which if it is close could do,BUT we do not have 1st pass the post voting like in the UK......in which some candidates are voted for and get into Parliament on only 22% of the Votes..in our eyes this is not Democratic at all,and how could it be....steve
