Try to copy-paste that fundraising-queen Nancy rtsp-link into your realvideo-player..
(unluckily, CSPAN only provides the *.smi link, hiding both part 1,2 and 3 and she starts at the
third part)
However, it could be worse...
Anyway, the general idea, way back from much before the 1700s, is that there should be an balance between those who (just) represent their voting district, and the King, who is elected by all the people, not just the local districts.
In terms of US, this also includes some basic minority-state issues like the senate, which does not have senators proportionally to the population of the states, but two for every one.
This too includes that idea on electoral mechanisms for the US president.
However, as Nancy, the Queen of Fundraising repeats, poltics starts at the local level.
Then it continues into $20-$2,000 contributers to pay for the minutes in the local district media, and all the funny US-things to ensure that smoke and screens continue.
(plus Gerry Mander and Jimmy Crow, if other things go wrong)
Unluckily, a fairly complex story, something like 4-5 factors involved
(and US in a really funny catch-22 system, will also be interesting to see how UK adopts to the demands of joining the euro although they have been given many decades to "devolve") |
