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.

Are you fucking kidding me? If there is any one institution that is completely owned by Wall Street/Corps it's the fucking Senate. We get comprehensive energy/environment/healthcare/etc bills passed in 2009 and then the Senate takes 12 fucking months to pass WEAKER version of them and in some cases not even pass (see the recent Senate energy bill that is WEAKER than the one the house passed in 2009 being dropped because there is no support from the small red state senators).

Do you know how easy it is to buy the Senators from the small population states (1m or less)? Abolishing the Senate would actually reduce the influence of money on Congress.
