I love it when a politician doesn’t take himself/herself too seriously. Ralph Nader, who is not the Green Party candidate in the US this time around, delivers a very humourous soliloquy. It does reflect how it used to be around here, before MMP. When a minor party candidate couldn’t get a word in edgewise. Thank god things have changed here!

God, he seems self obsessed. The solution isn’t another crusader (the same old crusader), it’s grassroots democracy and appropriate decision making. Sounds like a party I know… Cynthia 08!

I’ll certainly be voting for Cynthia, but will always have a soft spot for Ralph.

totally disagree about things having changed though.

A serious overhaul of the USA’s antiquated “first past the post” voting system is seriously overdue … for the sake of the citizens of the USA, the future of the Greens or any other minor Party in that country, and the sake of the Planet !
The major problem seems to be that the populace believes what they are taught in school (hands on heart) and reinforced by their media: that their seriously antiquated system is THE “True Democracy”.
