Things is happenin' in Australia -- (link) - Reagen Aug 23, 16:50 30

      - I'm a little tired of the rotating cast of PMs. This happens about every 2 years. Nobody's lasted a full term since I got here. -- nm - mafic Aug 23, 17:38 13
        
        Not for nothing, but if Canada had proportional representation, we'd have a lot more Bernier-parties getting a handful of seats. - Name Withheld by Request Aug 23, 18:01 9
        
        Australia doesn't have proportional voting, it has first preference or alternative voting. It's very hard for minority parties to get a foothold in - Roger More Aug 23, 18:31 3
        
        oh right. it's the structure of the Senate that leads to the small parties. I don't vote here, I always forget the specifics. it works though. -- nm - mafic Aug 23, 18:35 2
        
        And that only came happened recently, once single issue parties figured out how to game the preference system - Roger More Aug 23, 18:44
        
        (I'll say better than FPTP at any rate) -- nm - mafic Aug 23, 18:35
        
        I generally favor MMP or ranked ballot. -- nm - Reagen Aug 23, 18:29
        
        I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. forces more government by consensus, or constant elections. - mafic Aug 23, 18:04 3
        
        Canada's too diverse a country politically, geographically, linguistically and racially for prop rep. - Name Withheld by Request Aug 23, 18:09 2
        
        But ideally a politically, geographically, linguistically and racially diverse country that is also a representative democracy should have - Roger More Aug 23, 18:52
        
        honestly I think FPTP drives a lot of polarisation. if you know you can get a majority with 35% of the vote, you don't need a bigger tent. - mafic Aug 23, 18:29
        
        I think we'll see more of it until the parties realign around some other axis, like open vs closed. -- nm - Roger More Aug 23, 17:41 2
        
        sausage vs shrimp -- nm - Reagen Aug 23, 17:49 1
        
        No, the answer to that is "why not both?". -- nm - Roger More Aug 23, 18:37
- I almost hope Dutton wins and is then ruled ineligible just so the spectacle goes on a few more weeks, except I really don't want him as PM. -- nm - mafic Aug 23, 17:24 3
  - Solicitor General paraphrased "He isn't *not* ineligible. I dunno. Anyone know a good lawyer?" -- nm - Reagen Aug 23, 17:29 2
    - "Well *I* think he's fine, buy High Court? Who knows about those fucks? Judges, amirite?" -- nm - mafic Aug 23, 17:45
    - That's Wiggie's music! Oh wait. You said "good". nm - ralph wiggum Aug 23, 17:32

    - More of those protoscumbags should out themselves. Perhaps with a “T” forehead tattoo. -- nm* - Beryllium Aug 23, 17:35
  - OTOH, people are pleading guilty to having covered up things he did of low moral character. -- nm - Reagen Aug 23, 17:04
- "Damaging" should be in airquotes up there. -- nm - Baron Starr Aug 23, 16:33 1
  - "Real" Chinese Food - Mop Aug 23, 16:47
- They endorsed Trump because they had dirt on him. It's that simple. (BTW, where are you *supposed* to store them?!) -- nm - Mop Aug 23, 16:30 2
  - Safety deposit box. (Or if you don't want to mitigate risk, destroy them) -- nm - Roger More Aug 23, 17:07
  - I mean, that's the most logical place to keep them. filing cabinet in a locked room would probably do the trick too though. - mafic Aug 23, 16:34
- I assume if this is being reported, it's because Mueller now has them? -- nm - Mop Aug 23, 16:27 1
  - good question.... -- nm - Remlik Aug 23, 16:35
