Hi
I don't mean to interrupt your thread which has evolved into a discussion of possible flaws in the Australian political. I just want to comment on the original post about the Missouri voters electing a dead man. I'm sure that you may be aware that Americans aremostly very sarcastic. The voters wanted to show that they had more faith in the dead guy than any living politician. Americans can be very self centered, stubborn, sarcastic, patriotic bunch.
