Broad brush, but the US Constitution is fine. It's the electoral system that's the problem. - Roger More May 29, 07:41 4
- And what defines the electoral system? hmmmm? -- nm - GregW May 29, 07:44 3
  - It's really the details of how the electoral system works that is the problem. (I don't believe these details are covered by the Constitution) - Roger More May 29, 07:48 2
