  1. Re:Arcane? on UK Election Arcana, Explained By Software · · Score: 2, Funny

    You still keep the queen around, of course, she has no political power and her role is to produce news for the tabloids that the illiterate of your country can follow. The queen in the UK = Oprah in the states.

    No, not true. The queen still has absolute control in at least the UK and Australia. I have a copy of the Australian constitution and it is a very thin book. It pretty much says "the queen may set up the government in a particular way, or she may not".

    The people may not like it but the queen is effectively a dictator.

    You underestimate the power that is Oprah.

    Yes you could. You could easily abandon them, because then people like myself would spend more than two seconds considering the merits of your party before blowing them off. Seriously, find a T. Roosevelt or a Dick Nixon (minus the crazy) and I'd think about it. Instead we're dealing with people who cherry pick which elements of Reagan they want to follow and fill in the rest of their policy 'thoughts' with a bit of Leviticus and just a smattering of Ayn Rand.

    Cute graph, but the fact that he uses the term "Democrat Party" instead of "Democratic Party" indicates a bias.

    People don't understand numbers, they just hit the "0" and "9" keys until the number they're typing in "looks big" or "looks small".
