Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
The problem with our system is that it's winner takes all instead of proportional for the house of representatives.
Also we could have had some sort of runoff with the two top vote getters. Arguably Clinton nor Bush would have won their respective first elections because the spoiler candidates would have dropped out in the second rounds.
Finally there's the two top choices model which might work as well.
Unfortunately the Dems and Reps have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo.
