Yeah, I projected. I'm just getting peevish at the whining over the situtation when it's never the voters fault we get perpetual election.

        We disagree on that comparison, but a better question is, what is the goal you're tryin to achieve with constant minority or coalition gov'ts? - NWBR on iPhone Jul 12, 21:53
        
        ....Quite a bit and I just don't believe that it would work better than old-school brokerage parties. - NWBR on iPhone Jul 12, 21:11
