A Digest Of Issues: Why The Hell Not!; Issue: #41. (i) Partisanship: Why Force It? On, the 04th of October, Mayoral Candidate (Vancouver, BC; 2002) (possibly Dr) Gölök Zoltán Leenderdt (St.) Franco (Assissi) Buday (Possibly MD) announced that he opposes all systems of government that enforce bi-partisanship and partisanship, either way it includes partisanship and denies people competitive political choices. The at-large system for choosing a legislature requires someone to check into every candidate and makes it easier to vote on a partisan level than a non-partisan level, checking between 3 to 10 parties, is easier than choosing between several independents and several party endorsed candidates on a non-collective form of thinking; this also creates a tyranny of the majority situation and allows, what would normally be a miserable loser to win a seat in a legislature. The other version is proportional representation, partisanship and tyranny of the majority and the big question or even statement and absolute here, is what happens when independents get #% of the vote which independents sit on #% of the seats? Another question is how does the party choose who sits on the legislature, and who loses the option of being on the legislature? (ii) More Absurdity: Disability System. On, the 04th of October, Mayoral Candidate (Vancouver, BC; 2002) (possibly Dr) Gölök Zoltán Leenderdt (St.) Franco (Assissi) Buday (Possibly MD) asked the question, why does anyone on any safety net program (or should be a safety net program, and may be an entitlement program.) need a home owner's grant? Why can't they sell the house and rent? Mr. Buday also hopes that drug abuse is no longer seen as a disability, but a weakness.
