<There is no party>

c-span.org

5-11 is a minimum, plus a moderate centrist party.

Hmm, maybe I have to listen to it once again, that Brooking Institute guy said something about "third-party-mergers" at the end, but I am not sure with all these "third parties" in USA??

However, attempting some associations to local realities, we have had a religious-constitutional party, actually two of them, plus a libertarian (disappeared into the regular conservatives), some attempts at a "anti-abortion" party (they never got the 5,000 signatures), but our greens have had some important jobs in the latest governments. (not because I just voted for one)

Same thing with our present "far-left", I'm just thinking of that possibility as they have the most capable PhD in economics.

PS However, once upon a time we had these green-anarchists.
What is worse, they got so many things right, although not everything

I think, believe and hope, Clark Terry said it better than both Shakespear and Orwell, but maybe not as well as Samuel Beckett

Well, actually Clark actually did it better..

PS. Both have done many versions, but Terry got it best, me thinks (when visiting history once again)

PPS At a minimum, Terry helps me with both CNN, CSPAN and SI, even FOX and BBC, while Beckett does not do much outside those funny Yuropean islands, these days,

PPPS. London-Westminster must be a true, trully truly exciting place these days, they must be speaking some very strange languages (however, most of EU has promised to support them in their funny struggle, BBC too, as has Wales, Scotland, both Irelands and little Malta, plus Turkey and India)

PPPPS I'm not so sure about Australia, and who knows, New Zealand...
