The US political system would also benefit from limited campaigning. It's almost like the politicians around here never do anything, because they're always too busy campaigning.

Two party isn't the problem, winner-take-all is.

If a party representing 5% of the people could get 5% of the seats in congress, without those people all having to live in the same state...

As I said, first past the post is a terrible system, and causes the 2 party system.

((yes, I realize America doesn't use a first past the post system, but it's comparable enough))

I'm pretty sure that what's campaigning in America, would be seen as serious corruption in other states.

Funnily enough I saw that as an advantage of being the opposition to a sitting president. Hes got all that running the US stuff to worry about while you can go about promising the moon on a stick to everyone.

True, but a sitting candidate has all sorts of free, job-related public events he has to go to where there will be reporters and he can use those as impromptu campaign events. Hell, the State of the Union address is essentially an annual re-election pitch.

Hey, CCPgrey released ANOTHER video concerning american political systems just now.

I conclude from this that the entire American voting system is fucked up majorly.

[Flying Dice]

Top story tonight: American electoral system is a steaming pile of faeces.

More breaking news: Bears are Catholic, the Pope shits in the woods.

Both are amusing images, I'll admit

My brothers girlfriend asked me "Who's Stephen Hawking?" I facepalmed hard that day.

[Karnewarrior]

At 0:36 in that video, there's a creeper senator in the back.

Also yeah, this is stupid, and probably won't change since Americans love to try to hearken back to a past they don't have and this takes them back to the "GOOD OLD DAYS" of... a few centuries ago.

Democracy: It's the worst system of government except for all the others that have been tried.

Everything was better back when it was worse.

You should roll with it. Say he was some famous general or something, who conquered all of Greece and lost it to the Chinese.

The dirty capitalist Chinese.

But then Greece was freed by the revolution thrown by the uber badass, JFK, who was in turn assassinated by Hitler, who would go on to conquer Germany and create the Holocaust.

Stephen Hawking: American General that conquered all of Greece and lost it to the Chinese general Arthur Wellesley.
