Spoiler:I don’t want to be human. I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can’t even express these things properly, because I have to—I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language, but I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me. I’m a machine, and I can know much more.

You are both forgetting that under a parliamentarian system, you don't vote for people, you vote for party.
Only difference with a leader is that he's got a sure win.
But yes. The system is based on the quantity of MP therefore that is the only thing that counts.Spoiler:I don’t want to be human.

I know Australia is much different than UK and Canada but here you vote for a candidate of a party, his name is printed first and in the biggest font on the ballot with party underneath as description. Provincial élections even have the picture of the guy.

It's not my fault if the average punter thinks they live in America and are voting in a president.

It shows your ignorance of, well, anything political, or legal.
Here is a hint. I don't especially LIKE the system I work within, I have never been gun shy about saying it either. But I need to know it is the system I must work within -right now- to change it to something better.
You don't get that, you think crying from the mountaintop will change it.
It won't, and thinking it will is ignorant.sigpicALL THANKS TO THE WONDERFUL CREATOR OF THIS SIG GO TO R.I.G.A lie is just a truth that hasn't gone through conversion therapy yetThe truth isn't the truth
