A precise summary.

Nope, but I would say that "so basically" you are AGAIN recycling your favorite troll tactic of putting words in my mouth when you don't like what I said.

Congratulations, man. I don't know why you bother to post here, on what is claimed to be a no-trolling site, but I'm done reading your posts and responding to them. If you actually want to know some of the ways your reality is askew and your output flawed, the rest of the internet is out there prepared to help you out.

So you're sad because you can't censor opinions you don't like here, like you authoritarian leftards get to do everywhere else. Again, not surprising

And now you are going to pout and threaten a horrible punishment in return --- that you will ignore me.

OOH NOES! OHMAGOSH Peaches is going to ignore me. My life is ruined! How will I find the strength to go on? How will I live another day??????

Don't go too far, Bob. I've got questions.

What was the purpose of your 9-minute press conference?

If your report was your testimony and if you say it speaks for itself, then why was it necessary for you to have a press conference where you forbid questions?

This is all too confusing for some of us. You just want to create more controversy, am I right? Divide this already divided country even more?

Why couldn't you say one of the following:

"Yes, he is guilty."

"No, he is not guilty."

What's with the games?

It is very disappointing that after two years we are where we are today.

Dear Lunkhead,

I'd explain the difference between Civics 101 and History 370, but I'd be wasting my time here and I've already left this conversation once.

I'll just say that what is explained by your nice blue and gray graph is the thinking behind our bicameral legislature, in which the lower chamber tries to provide a "one man, one vote" and the upper chamber protects the rights of each state (regardless of its population) to sit as an equal with other states that are larger or more populous. This is not an opinion, it is historical fact and easily documented in a decent library.

It only bears on the EC because the framers intended the EC to combine both methods of representation into one unholy entity for the purpose of electing a chief executive, and additionally of insuring against a wave of populism being able to elect an unfit president. The EC failed in this mission within half a century and has subsequently failed a few more times, yet we still use it because it's hard to get rid of it.

The continued failures of the EC are guaranteed at this point by the way the two main parties have rigged the EC's rules over time.

Senates have long since ceased being a State focussed house, and have become a party biased secondary house of its own.

Many people here believe the Senate should be scrapped. One State, Queensland has done so with no negative result.

Senates are an anachronism that have been corrupted by the party political system.

We don't have an upper chamber at the provincial level.

And does that affect the governance of your province?

No, and it doesn't affect it at the federal level..

Our senate is not elected..

They're a rubber stamp.

Many Australians want to see the Federal Senate abolished.

As well as State governments.

Many Western Canadians want to see our senate elected and more powers for provincial governments.

An elected senate could form a firewall against Justine's war on middle class Canadians.

In practice, it sounds good.

But to get elected Senators need to belong to a political party if they want to improve their chances.

So, as always, Senators follow the party line just as they do in the lower house. The party with the numbers in the Senate controls the Senate.

Just like the USA..

Taiwan's control yuan is like Canada's senate.
