Utterly crazy that the yanks still have their boundaries drawn by politicians.

In a Democracy, the voters choose their government. In a Dictatorship, the government chooses their voters. Guess what the U.S. is about to become?

Except it is not a democracy. The voters get to choose from the two options that the two Political Corporations (Parties) tell the voters they can pick from.

Yes. The US was a republic. Now it’s becoming a dictatorship. The Republic wasn’t great, but at least we had a chance.

This has been our way since about 1812. And we have never changed it, because the party in charge wants to maintain the system. Whatever party that is.

You think that’s crazy? They vote for their own pay, too! All sorts of nuttiness in the US government at the best of times.

Not confined to the US either....In the UK MPs select an "independent" committee to fix their pay. Then everytime claim they are "honour bound" to accept their over generous decision, whilst slashing everyone else's pay committee's recommendations as unaffordable.
