Politics: Left, Right, and Center National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon. We want to hear what YOU have to say, not what some constipated, impotent, dead guy dreamt up while suffering from the DT's over a hundred years ago thought.

Default New voting system

I think we should have a write in voting system no limit allowed. That way the ones who are persistant enough to fill out the most ballets and send them in will win. Since most people dont vote anyways i dont see it as any less fair of a system do you?

Yes. I like my new voting system.

how about dropping secret ballots too.

make ballots and who voted on them public record.

you shouldn't be ashamed of who you voted for; you should be proud.

i see corruptness in secret ballots.

I don't know about that. But, I think it's really ridiculous that they make us pay to vote...

Cheers,

Well to answer your question, I'll take a peices news out of the canadian media. A MP from Ontario was reprimanded by the media after he had told a personr of his riding who came for help to fuck off (not his words, mine) because the MP had found out that he had voted for another party. Open ballots lead to bullying and descrimination.
