If you Wiki 'Types of democracy' there's plenty there to take your pick from.
Personally I think a non-partisan democracy is worth a shot.....assuming we can't find the right person to run a nice little benevolent dictatorship.
Or let's simply scrap the Commons and put the Lords in charge; no desperate need to clinging on to their job, already landed so less interest in personal gain, a full understanding of our present time being a spec in history and a wide variety of experience outside of politics. I just think I'd prefer Alan Sugar and Floella Benjamin to Corbyn and Abbot.

I didn't have time to consider all of them and who would be best. It was just an observation that when you settle for 'so be it' you end up with Abbot and Costello, or Trump.
I wrote this thread predicting a big scandal was about to break and then the FBI news came out and the odds shot down just as i said. He will win, the polls are wrong.
She broke federal law and they didnt charge her due to lack of intent, however intent is not a requirement and so not a defence. This point was made very clear by the government oversight commitee.
The FBI director knew he screwed up and lost alot of respect.
if those new emails dont lead to charges then The FBI director will resign. Considering this was purely his choice its very unlikely he would take that risk unless he knows he has smoking gun. He needs to move fast on this but not be seen as influencing politics so i think more 'leaks' will come.

We could be heading for Hillary to win the vote....but for her not to take up office.
What a strange world we live in when someone shifty is seen as a worse candidate for POTUS than a sex offender.

I find it shocking that Hilary clinton was fed debate questions a day before debating Bernie Sanders, She has no integrity! Plus she was given all the super delegates. The poor bloke never had a chance.
Ironically, if Sanders won the nominee he would probably be doing a lot better than Hillary right now. Both Sanders and Trump want to fundamentally 'change the system' , however i think Sanders would of been the more legitimate choice.

Thanks for the Evan McMullin tip Peter.
In at 840, out at 640....every penny counts.
Trump isn't going to win, but i'm not confident Hillary will be next POTUS.
It might not last long but you can Back Hillary @ 1.39 and Lay Next President Gender= Female @1.38 atm. Seems good from any angle.
