       I’m still baffled by the acceptance of an electoral system that is so slow and stuck. The UK went from calling an election to installing a new PM in six weeks. Mostly because they have an electoral system that doesn’t assume that horses are the fastest mode of available transportation.

       @Apiary a parliamentary system has to have quicker elections otherwise there would be no point of being able to call a vote of no confidence

       @Apiary every time we have a midterm and the House and Senate get flipped they'd just use it to oust the President... that would be a terrible idea
