We, as people vote and have the right to our opinions.
The Gov’t, reserves the right to ignore the opinions of the masses. It reserves the right to modify it’s election platform. If it is a majority gov’t too bad for the people.
I’ve been watching what has been taking place in France. Remarkable I find it that the streets are full of protests and the gov’t has done nothing to indicate they care aside from efforts to quash it. This situation reflects on how all democracies act today.
What’s the point. Instead of being stuck with an *** who could care less about there countrymen, we just get to pick a new one every 4 years.

Yup. That's why so many people are turned off politics these days. There used to be point in debate when there might be a useful change but nowadays you have to smash the place up to get heard. Politicians once held the view that it was noble to serve the people that voted you into exalted office, excepting a few rotten apples. Now they all shove their snouts in the trough and forget who pays for it.

Nearly 750,000 Iraqis have died since 2003 who might still be alive but for the US-led invasion. That is a cause for shame, not pride.

There's a guy out west here in Canada named Emmerson. He was a Liberal in the election we recently had, won his riding (AS A LIBERAL), and then turncoated, walked across the floor and joined the Progressive Conservative Party (who won the election). The constituency is pissed. Does anyone above the voter platform care...no, except maybe the Liberals he turncoated on. Turns out that is the only Urban riding the Progressive Conservatives have across our entire nation. Won it on the redneck vote.

Voter turnout something like 56% nation wide. Progressive's win with about 37% (I believe) of the vote...So 37% of of 56% = hardly anyone voted for this idiot and he leads our country. He is openly a Bush supporter. Minority Gov't thank god.!

I don't know what voter turnout in Europe is like, but the States is low too. less than 60%. So 52% of them vote for Bush. So Bush gets to do, what Bush is doing based on 30% of Americans saying "Go for it." Democracy Hard at work. Very inspiring.


I have tried to find this but I can't. I have failed. I want to know how much of the democratic voting that took place in the Iraqi election came from outside the country. I'd like to know how Iraq' voters outside of Iraq voted compared to the voters actually in Iraq, and I wonder if those Iraqi voters living in Iraq really had any say at all.
