Efficiency does not scale for bureaucracy, instead the reverse tends to hold. In particular, expecting the organisation that produced the butter mountain and the wine lake to be efficient is hilarious.

Yes that's right, but they are part of the reserve and not the more active part of the army, air force and navy, that I was referring too.

A lot less money and resources would be wasted.

For the Canadians out there.
Advance polling for the Federal Election has begun today, and will continue over the weekend and Monday Oct 14 9am to 9pm at advance polling stations (locations: https://www.elections.ca/content2.aspx?s...dex&lang=e). Election day is Monday Oct 21. You can also vote at any Elections Canada office until 6pm on Tuesday Oct 15. Which is also the deadline for applying for postal voting. So no reason not to vote 
NPD+LIB>50%. Only reason why CONs are competitive is vote-splitting. If Trudeau is smart he'll implement ranked-choice ballot or a two-round system so he can be PM for life.

He wanted Ranked Choice ballot (or something similar like STV) but the NDP were opposed to it (they want MMP) during the committee (a committee that the Liberals didn't have a majority on) and voted with the Conservatives on that recommendation. Also, I lived through the failed referendum on PR in BC last year, and I have doubts that a nation-wide vote would do better than that. I don't like that the Liberals didn't follow through, but I understand why.
But I agree that if they do end up in a coalition, that would be the Liberals best way to stay in power. implement electoral reform and just stay in coalition with the NDP for a very long time.
Well, the result was what I expected, a Liberal minority, but the seat count was better than I expected for the Liberals. The Liberals and NDP still have the seats to command a majority, but I was kinda hoping for more of that majority to be NDP.
Bloc is probably a flash in the pan, I expect Trudeau to go a lot harder on environmental stuff which will sap BQ support, and going from Blanchet's speech he might go a lot more into Sovereigntist territory, which will turn a lot of younger people off of him. I think this government will last at least 2 years, but probably go the full 4, and that the Liberals will improve their seat count in the next election. Quote:MADRID (Reuters) - Far-right Vox became the third-largest party in Spain's parliament in a national election on Sunday, winning 52 seats, up from 24 at its debut in April. Nationalism rises. |
