[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4070117, member: 63706"] I just watched a speech given by Milton Friedman about the impossibility of tax reform. In it he says something quite profound about politics: "I do not believe that the solution to our problem is simply to elect the right people. The important thing is to establish a political climate of opinion which will make it politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing. Unless it is politically profitable for the wrong people to do the right thing, the right people will not do the right thing either, or if they try, they will shortly be out of office.” The question is, how do you do that? One way will be to fix the constitution so that the union will have to honor the vote of the majority of the people who care enough to vote. Ignoring the participating members because there are more members who don't participate is unacceptable. Here's the video, worth a watch: [MEDIA=youtube]TruCIPy79w8[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
