I was happy when someone on (the European version) of CNN expressed
my sentiments: if some other country had such a system and called
itself a democracy, the U.S. would (rightly) be one of the first
countries to point fingers and say "Whom are you trying to fool?".

The whole system is so non-transparent, illogical, undemocratic and
silly that there is little point in discussing how to slightly improve
something which is rotten to the core.
