Elections - December 2006

What do you think of the New Liberal Leader.

Although I listen/follow politics, that's one name I'm not overly familiar with but just learned on the news some of his portfolio.

I guess it's watch & see what happens.

...one which had everyone in the country who could vote cast a vote, and the issue would be dicided by the majority vote - would you participate? This would mean voting everyday or every week on every and all issues that your government had to deal with. Would you participate?

Is it all a charade? And if so, why not stop buying into it. (Just start calling them the democratic-republican party, like in the old days, whether or not they officially merge. Then we could have a truly effective opposition party, to run against that entity. Is our political demonizing really making us happier? Then what is it's true purpose? There's no real disagreement between normal people. It's only when people start getting labels that we have disagreement. Then we are all quabbling lobbyists for the simplistic notions we're fed by our "group". Maybe we've been duped. Have you ever wondered?

is it not a legitimate thing to do to express a concern at the immigration system letting in more people who may be reluctant to integrate FULLY into the british culture?
what do you think?
will many people take the plunge, as the opinion polls indicated when people were asked about this a few months back?

I do know that it was changed, but what was the exact reasoning behind it?
Was it because there was to much fighting, or because there was a poll that showed there were more males without property then with, ect.
(This was in the past, so don't say I am against women voters or something stupid like that! Okay?)

Some say the Republicans and Democrats are too similar to help America improve. Thus, would you support a viable third party alternative?

Congress could be a hot bed of feminists!

When you go to the polls to vote, cast your vote for the candidates you support.
For the elected offices and candidates that you are less certain about, favor the female candidates.
Rethink the criteria you consider when casting your vote.
Balancing the amount of power and knowledge and resources in the world in a fair way is a necessary goal. The world is far from being as fair as it can be. Seriously harmful imbalances between different groups of people still exist. Some voices are not being heard. Human potential, undefined.
The most glaring disparity is that between the governing power and authority men wield in the world – and the governing power and authority women wield.
Fortunately, most countries today are democratic and an increasing percentage of those who get elected to public office are women. Yet we still find that men dominate elected offices– even in the United States, which claims to stand on a foundation of equality, (US Congressional representation by women hovers near 15%)

 

It is critically important to ensure that social progress keeps pace with the technological progress we are witnessing.  Equalizing the percentages of men and women in elected offices will help to resolve all of our most pressing issues.

Answer the following question: How can a room full of legislators that are 85% male resolve an issue like abortion? I consider it fact that such a resolution cannot be possible until the percentage of males and females in such a room equals the percentage of males and females that it takes to create such an issue.

I believe that you will find the same is true for every social issue we face, and we face many.

Make the world a fairer place.

 Resolve abortion, gridlock, disease, hunger, hate crimes, homelessness, war.

Accept democracy in practice, not in theory alone.
