Ehh, not sure were you got the idea that we would care about your election system, or that we would like to point out how it is done. I simply wanted to understand it better. On the other hand, I would say that USA as a nation likes to tell other nations how to run their elections and many other things much more than, for example Sweden. All this is beside the point though since it was never what I was asking about. Or did you just wake up on the wrong side and had to spit out some bad things to start it all off assuming anyone posting about USA must have some bad attitude or feeling it is wrong? But perhaps it is a reflex of your to turn everything into some american versus europe issue (because I live in europe or?).
>IIRC the Swedes were nice enough to supply Hitler with the Heavy Water for his Atomic Bomb project.
You should either try to recall better or make some research before tossing out erroneous statements. Really, do you just post to see how bad of an impresion you can make on others? Anyway, the germans got their heavy water from Norway were they went themselves to get it really.
>Back to the point, I hope "how elections are done" in your country pleases you, since that is where you
>live and vote.
Actually I have several opinions, both good and bad about the election system in my country and don't think it is particulary good (or bad).
My post was not about figuring out what system is good or bad or the best, just asking about a few things that seems very odd from a fair point of view and from how most countries in the world would look at it. The judging of the best or worst, is really not the issue.
The rest of your post is really not even touching my initial post so I will leave it alone and let it be its own "off topic" subthread were you can all argue about what parlamentaric system you prefer. Hardly helped in answering or commenting any of my questions. Why not start your own thread if you want to have verbal wars figuring out who is the best, your country or whoever you feel discusing? But if you like to reply, at least take SOME time and effort to figure out what was actually posted and asked about in the initial post (or follow ups). Now, go off and troll somewhere else.

There are three types of people in the world. Those who can count and those who can't.
