One very ancient way is to start with multiplication and division, fingers, and proportional representation. Hammurabi and Gilgamesh, not to forget Brahmagupta and positive and negative numbers. Plus Jerry-the-Salamander, and Rush the Fat Idiot of later days. Where did Canada get lost in all of this, without any real reasons to get lost?? Very few attempt to be even more backwards than the french, no??

Btw, how many funny have used FPTP?? Ouch, luckily I have never been subjected to something stupid like that, although that is the case for both celts, welsh, scots and irish, as well as murricans and canadians, even maltesians for some years, ot to forget those down under and some other funny colonies. Does Natalie have any view on that, Natachka decided to not get into that, good for her and Putin too

Btw, fiddling NPR, you are not worried about that government you vote for, FPTP, every now and then?? However, nothing funnier that a regular british subject, except those who belong to the know-nothing-party. Me would be really worried if me would have to go as crazy, braindead, demented and funny as FPTP, no amount of grass would keep me from doing a lot of stuff. However, I know that FPTP subjects live in a parallell space, carefully handled and protected, even by NPR and CSPAN. No medians and averages could keep me from laughing, as long as on the outside.
