Necessary electoral reforms for the USA

Name: Anonymous 2010-06-17 19:47

The U.S. needs the following electoral reforms:

Unicameral legislatures (abolish the senates) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicameralism

Party-list proportional representation for legislative elections - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_representation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party-list_proportional_representation

Instant runoff voting for executive elections (mayor, governor, president) -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting

Election of the president solely by the popular vote (abolish the Electoral College).


That is all.

Seriously what is with you fucking faggots who think an unelected senate is better? The whole idea behind the senate is to give the smaller (in terms of population) states more say. If we had a unicameral legislature, the 5 most populous states could pass whatever the hell they wanted.

That's what the Senate is for: balancing the power between the big and small states. Wyoming (pop. 550,000) has 2 senators and so does California (pop. 37,000,000). That's the senate's purpose.

Having an elected senate at least gives accountability to the voters. You can have a senator like Obama or someone like John McFuckhead from Arizona, but at least the voters get to choose. As bad as the senate is, an unelected senate is even worse.
