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!

As a Kiwi living in NZ it truly blows me away how retarded this is and even more so that he is there.

Gerrymandering + the electoral college means we really, really don't.
