    How can New Hampshire just write a "state law" that they go first in primary? How can any state write a law like that? Why not also write a law saying "we have to be the richest state", that means federal government will be forced to give them more money? righhtttt

    It’s not gonna matter that the state is majority white. Why you mention is unclear. Anyway most of the states are majority white if you didn’t know. We are still like 70 something percent of the population. But that don’t matter? Anyway.

    In Canada we don't vote for parties, we vote for persons who may belong to (and espouse the platform of) a political party and those persons represent us! It's called civics: how your government works for you.

    • @IMGreg..
      @IMGreg.. 4 місяці тому +5

      We vote the same as their representative body and the body elects a leader.
      Both countries vote for a representative person but we also vote along party lines, it's in our DNA to pick teams, we just have more teams to chose from.
      The difference is our body elects the leader ahead of the general election theirs after.
      Also our winning parties leader becomes the countries leader and recommends the appoints of Senators to the Governor General.
      They run additional races for the countries leader and their Senate and that level of politics adds to why things can't get done quickly.
      Our House would be equivalent to their house but with more actual control as our house runs the country with little obstacle from the Senate and none from a president.
      Also our house term is a max of 5 years but can call an election any time before the 5 years is up.
      Their house term is 2 years, barely enough time to get major legislative changes in before getting ready to campaign again.
      The advantage to a 5 year max is you can enact legislation and run on its success.
      The disadvantage to the country is a bad government can be in power for 5 years.
      The British Parliamentary system can be lightening fast in enacting legislation after a Senate review.
      They have 2 additional levels that have a public say as to what gets enacted our Senate is not so public and political.
