You know, the problem is actually just as bad here. Each of the three parties has (apparantly) about a third of the popular vote, but due to the "stupid" way we allocate seats, it means that labour would still win by a massive, massive majority again! It's quite easy for parties to have a minority of the popular vote and still win too... we've just never had it come up before.
Oh, and if you look at the percentage of people who actually voted etc, turns out that a pathetic percentage of people who have the right to vote actually voted for Blair.

Ah yes... to stop the uninformed masses from voting an idiot into power.... hold on...

Yep, Gamecentral (Digi revamped) is the main reason why I read it.
The reason I mentioned it is that I have an Aunt in the States, and they don't have it over there. She liked it for getting headlines quickly and checking the weather.
Also it used to have Digitiser.

Really, teletext. Can you imagine a world without it?
It's so clever!

I've missed Teletext when I was at uni - a valuable resource, and easy to use in a self contained environment.

Haha, teletext.
Reeks of Britishness to me. I.e, it's useless genius!

Ignorance of any outside country really ticks me off, oh and the fact that most outside country is getting Americanised with too many things for me to list *cough, Mc Donalds cough*
Well that's my 2 cen...pence

The main reason I hate Americans is because they know nothing about the outside world. Most couldn't even find a map of America on a world map. They also believe everyone plays the same sports as them and that anyone who doesn't is an idiot.
There is also their culture and tastes, and how they think everyone should have the same culture as them, and if someone doesn't they should be invaded. Then there is their political bullying, and THEN there is how they call themselves "land of the free" and all that rubbish. I think there are plenty of other "free" countries in the world, such as us.
Feel free to add to this list.

I was over there for a month on a business trip back in the summer. Went to a few parties and stuff. One of the folk I met there thought America was the best place in the world.

Far too many are arrogant idiots, but most of them learn.
As for the much mentioned Bush never had a majority thing, true, he did not. But neither did Gore. Gore had almost 500,000 more votes in total throughout the country, but due to the horrendously stupid electoral college votes thing it meant he lost.
Funniest thing is that the electoral college votes don't legally have to go to the winner of the state. Classic.
