At his behest, I'm reposting the exchange here. @gscratch Heh. Item 1) Cultural Mozaic, not melting pot -- that's USA. Also, were you channeling Heinlein? Compliment not a dig..... @gscratch 2) yep, but consider the representation by population. Unfair Geographically. Reform needs to happen at other levels. @gscratch 3) Good. May would have done well as a mainstream. Politics needs less politics to attract good candidates. Business is easier... @gscratch 4) Heh. Funny. Can't happen in current system. It's adversarial. Government VS Off. Opposition. Not doing your job if you agree w/ opponent Greg replied: @bgrier Re (2) A regional party focus can drown out a national party with national focus. Bloq can stymie ndp with QC issues. knowhutimean? My my brilliant reply: @gscratch Ah, but isn't that incentive for ND to address QC issues locally, effectively within the national structure?
