   That is why I suggested independant.  Simply put a independant that   
   actually resides in your riding is most likely to really represent you   
   ridings needs.  And will be a lot less likely to be a   
   CAW/Laytoon/Iggy/Obama/Harpo pocket boy.   
      
   Imagin how politics would be turned on it's ear if all disgruntled   
   voters showed up and voted for an independant.  Virtually all of the   
   partizan BS and MP bribing becomes less of a hazard to us.  Lib/Con/NDP   
   want higher taxes but 160 independant MPs say no, it dies.  And in fact   
   it will often take much less as say Bloc says no....   
      
   Trouble with party politics is if I get Harpo/Iggy/Layton in the pocket,   
   does not mater a damned how people vote.  Same thing happens   
   provincially.  Part of why I am now a Wildrose Alliance supporter, it   
   isn't just a defunct manipulative eastern throwback party.   
      
   That is why we don't have a representation for more efficient and less   
   expensive government, yet most people would like to see it.
