If the same group wins (loses but stays in power) again they'll probably will introduce a 'Breathing Tax'... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Seriously, there should be a rule that the winning party form the government!

Yup... We have that... The breathing tax. And every other tax also.

Prior to this government we had a minority government with the official opposition being a separatist party that only was elected in one province
Nothing got accomplished as the governing party had to keep making deals with at least 1 of the 3 opposition parties

So, Romney has the actual people's vote by 1%, but Obama won on the electoral votes with a land slide.

I didn't grow up here, anyone care to enlighten me how thats democratic?

Here's the best explanation I've heard of how that works:

http://www.cnn.com/video/?hpt=hp_t2_6#/v...ral-college.cnn

Thanks. So its two layers of representative democracy.

That system seems quite unfair to the smaller parties out there, they don't really have a chance ever since its a very small representation of the people who do the actual vote.

Can anyone explain why the popular vote isn't being used? It seems more accurate and fair.

Edit: I guess it comes down to the fact that each state can govern its own people and therefore they need equal say in the election of the president.

The electoral college system is one of the things that I do not like about the USA system as it seems undemocratic to me
