Default Re: France\'s Election is Today

hmkpoker,

I think it is even worse than you make it out to be. The prez of the US is not a people elected official, he is elected by the "Electoral College" whose electors are not bound by the position they took to be popularly elected. My understanding, is that this was designed to ensure that a popular vote would not really upset the real political powers agenda!

I won't even mention the interference from the judiciary in the process! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
