I was thinking of the colonials, sub-colonials as they are called.

Plus the the sub-prime-American-politics, only two sub-parties.

PS I have often thought, is it good for colonials to have a two-party, winner-takes-all election system, with or without a constitution, or is it better with a strict proportional multy-party-system, as in Israel??

PPS Most post-20th-century and modern democracies seem to have decided on some common sense not-two-party-nor-Israel solution.
(nobody has willingly agreed to a USA-style two-party-system since the late, short decades of the 1700s, not even Israel)

Btw, it seems the Iraqis are not yet ready to hand over 75% of their oil to the Bushies (despite the largest embassy built on earth, except for all those mortars)

Not even 85% as some have claimed, while the Shah survived on a 50-50% USA deal, until he got sick.

BushBoy seems to to have little luck on that major prospect, despite his own surge and Petreus and their newest puppet-government (kebab-government, as they are locally called)

PS Although AEI claims a 85% deal I think it seems fairly impossible, not even the Shah (that 50-50% deal) agreed to that with the brittish.
