| 1214973 | 2011-07-07 12:44:00 | The MMP concept is so flawed that a single vote does not matter, so again, who cares anyway? Do you really think there is a voting system where a single vote really matters.:illogical |

| 1214976 | 2011-07-10 23:27:00 | If nobody casts a single vote, then what, so it must matter! Equally if only one valid vote is cast, that person's vote settles the issue. The problem is that all votes are considered equal, and yet all people have different abilities and intellect. Democracy: The outcome of a decision being settled by the votes of 10 wise men and 11 idiots - although generally the proportion of idiots is higher - In a democracy, the winners are politicians, the voters are the losers. |

| 1214978 | 2011-07-10 23:51:00 | I found it. Many forms of Government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time. |
