The inclusion of such parties provides our Canadian friends with comic relief at election time; would that we had similar sensibilities here in the U.S.-I really think we could use a few more laughs over the upcoming election season.
J2 we have plenty to laugh at during election time their called Democrats :P
I still miss Screaming Lord Sutch of the Monster Raving Loony Party :(
True enough, Hank, but that's just a simple majority of us laughing, as the Dems would never laugh at themselves.Quote:

We need a party with a more universal appeal, I think.
The "Kegger" party; something like that. ;)
Rat- I have vague memories of that which you speak; it was an appropriately named confab, as I remember. :P
The Party is still going strong, however Screaming Lord Sutch had a certain "Carisma" about him... that left the opposition candidates looking the twits :)
I could have sworn that the Democrats got the Majority of the votes last time, and ive always found Conservatives the ones unable to laugh at themselves...Quote:

....actually, they nominated Bush last time to stand...so that comment falls down flat.
My Appologies...
:P
RF three recounts later and Bush still one. Get over it Al Gore lost, and for which I am thankful everyday.
Irrespective of Florida (The Gore Exception)...Quote:

Rat-
Bush won Florida outright, as I have said many times previously.
As to why a pure majority of the popular vote is not sufficient to win a Presidential election, please do a bit of reading:

As you will see, the Electoral College was instituted in what was certainly one of the Framer's first steps to incorporate "fairness" into our Constitution.
I quote again...

I never brought any election result into the conversation... the subject was "Simple Majority".. ie Popular Vote.
Democrats have that... ie they are the majority...
I will agree with you however, in that the Republicans are simple ;)
I certainly didnt mean to upset y'all :P
