SSDD. Five left parties make a coalition and five right parties make an oposition (or vice versa) and you're de facto with another 2 party system.

One question: are senator/copngresmen votings secret or public ballots :hmmm:

Public

Wouldn't it be better if the ballots were cast secret. No party pressure on the voter

Oh you meant votes the public makes to elect a congressman? No those are secret. I thought you were referring the votes the congresscritters themselves make on bills.

Just noted that there is some serious consideration given to the 1-trillion-coin trick, at least by some. So far I thought somebody just made a bad joke.

Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

:nope:

No no, the votes the congresmen make on the bills themselves.

How many votes for a good thing are lost because one is afraid to vote for what he believes is right and votes so he doesn't loose his position in the party :hmmm:

But then how could we as voters judge the job that the congressperson is doing?

:hmmm:
I see, thats a problem I'm not fammiliar with
