You may not like the middle of the country but the people who live ther are entitled to have a say in things. The EC functions as it did when this was a small, compact country with an equally small population. I can't think of another "modern" country where the head of government is selected by other than who gets the most votes. I also don't think sparsely populated states should have the same number of U.S. Senators as California, Texas, Florida, New York, et cetera. There's no reason why the vote of an individual in North Dakota should have the same number of U.S. Senators to access as an individual in Texas. The people do not elect the President. The people elect their Senators and Congressmen. The state governing body chooses the electors. The state can choose how they select the electors. The electors in most states, do not have to vote for their candidate. California electors only have to vote for their candidate on the first two ballots. After that they are free to choose. For someone who claims a better education than any other here, you are sorely lacking in practical knowledge. I find Fat Harry lacking in a lot of ways. |
