To paraphrase Winston Churchill... LiterateDog Send a noteboard - 01/08/2010 06:52:39 PM
The unions seem to have outgrown their original purpose and utility... and now they exist to wield and buy power.

And an election system that allows for a seat to be bought this blatantly is broken.


Our system of elections has gotten terrible, but it is still better than those found elsewhere.
