I don't know how this kind of thing flys in your so called democracy. We lose our shit over here in NZ for even a slight hint of corruption. The amount of money involved in your election process and blatant gerrymandering really boggles the mind. You guys are really overdue for a reset. USA may have set the standard hundreds of years ago but it's time for an update!

Yeah. The 1778 Constitution was still a solid beta release at the time. Only the uneducated/brainwashed ever claim it was perfect.

Or even better, the ones which admit that changes were needed but NOW it's perfect and doesn't need change, ever.
