 RW>  Brer Bart Verhaeghe wrote to Brer Roy Witt about US bashing?:

 BV>>  sure, but to many party's are also not good.

 RW> More than two means that you can win a seat without carrying a simple
 RW> majority. i.e. Clinton won the 1992 election for President with only 34%
 RW> of the popular vote. If I recall correctly, there were more than 12
 RW> candidates at the time.

 RW> Bush 1, Clinton, Perot, Marrou, Hagelin, LaRouche, Warren, Nader, and a
 RW> slew of other minority party candidates were on the ballot.

 this is for the presidency.

 BV>>>>  the same system of voting by an electoral college and electors.

 RW>>> The EC and those in it are the only electors here.

 BV>>  yes.

 RW> However, they do take their cue from the popular vote, which is according
 RW> to state law, except in a couple of states who divide the popular vote
 RW> among their EC electors according to the percentage of the popular vote
 RW> they receive.

 yes it is.
 but here they must have a percentage of votes.
 if they not have they have to collaborate with a other party to get,
 majority of seat's.
 and then they choose the prime minister.
 this is only for the federal goverment.
 the other goverment's are other elections.

 the Federal and the European and the Regional elections are every 5 year's.
 local elections are every 6 year's.

 so next year we will have the Federal, European and the Regional Elections.

 BV>>  it is but they can change somthing.

 RW> If they're a majority...

 that's what I tell you :)

 BV>>  if there are to many party's they must to change there program to
 BV>> mutch, to make a good goverment.

 RW> Not here. The majority party rules all three houses...at the present time
 RW> the Democrat party controls the White House and the Senate, while the
 RW> House of Representatives is controlled by the Republican party. Both
 RW> houses have Independent party members, which vote on one side or the
 RW> other of the majority or minority parties.

 but the House of Representatives can slow down the decisions of the,
 White House and the Senate?

 BV>>  because here you have right party's, left party's, extreme right
 BV>> party's, liberal party's, party's that only care about nature, and
 BV>> many others.

 RW> Yeup, we also have a bunch of tree huggers in the Green Party and other's
 RW> like them. Not to mention our share of Socialist parties too.

 don't break my mouth open about the socialists.
 they only know 1 word : Taxes.

 BV>>  yes but this is better than what we have because every part have his
 BV>> own, goverment.

 RW> I understand.

 BV>>     The federal government, based in Brussels.

 BV>>     Seats   221
 BV>>     71 senators
 BV>>     150 representatives

 BV>>     Senate :

 BV>>     Seats   71 (+3)
 BV>>     40 directly elected senators,
 BV>>     21 Community senators,
 BV>>     10 co-opted senators,
 BV>>     plus 3 senators by right

 RW> By right? WTF is that all about?

 it mean's that they choose freely this senators.
 it can be someone from the royal family.

 BV>>     Chamber of Representatives
 BV>>     Seats   150


 BV>>     The three language communities:
 BV>>         the Flemish Community (Dutch-speaking);
 BV>>         the French Community (French-speaking);
 BV>>         the German-speaking Community.

 RW> There's a potential problem. No common language...

 no it is a big problem because they alway's fight for votes.

 BV>>     The three regions:
 BV>>         the Flemish Region, subdivided into five provinces;
 BV>>         the Walloon Region, subdivided into five provinces;
 BV>>         the Brussels-Capital Region.

 RW> This is why we take a sensus every ten years and adjust the number of
 RW> representatives accordingly. i.e. my Rep District is represented by a
 RW> jerk elected by a general consensus of the voters. He just so happens to
 RW> be of the wrong party as far as I'm concerned. We were represented by a
 RW> member of this house who now has a smaller area due to the abundance of
 RW> growth in population between San Antonio and Austin, which is a new
 RW> district since the 2010 sensus...

 yep here also if the local goverment get's the wrong mayor we get,
 higher taxes.
 than i'm not speaking if we get the wrong local goverment and the,
 wrong federal goverment, because this are other taxes.

 BV>>  nag, it's not possible they still have to mutch power.

 RW> That's why I said "don't let them rule like they're royalty"... 8^)

 they don't have notting to say.
 but we must pay them to do notthing.

 BV>>>>  this is my thought on that.

 RW>>> 8^)

 BV>> (1:387/22) 6/185 1413 267/155 280/1027 292/907

 RW>                 ^^^^^
 RW>                 ?????
 RW>                  EH?

 I don't know it's only what I see in my path.



with best regards,
Bart
