Ghostagain: But in the case of United State with only two political system, smaller demographics are being marginalised. The way elections work favors only two main political parties and leaves out others and some people's opinions. This means that many voices aren't heard as much. The Electoral College system makes it even more unfair because it can ignore what most people actually vote for. And The winner-takes-all nature of the Electoral College further exacerbates this issue, as it disregard the popular vote and disproportionately favor larger demographic groups and swing states. As a result, many citizens feel disenfranchised and disengaged from the political process, as their voices are overshadowed by the dominance of the two major parties. 4 Likes |

⚡Officials with the British Royal Navy have reportedly told the U.K. Defense Journal that the HMS Bulwark (L15), a Albion-Class Landing Platform Dock that was expected to Assume the Operational Role previously filled by the HMS Albion (L14) will now remain in a “Extended Readiness” Status instead, only being Retuned to Sea for Absolute Necessity. if True, the British Royal Navy and Marines would now be without an Active Amphibious Naval Capacity for the First Time in Decades if not Centuries, with No Replacement currently planned for the Two Ships of the Albion-Class who have only been in Active Service for roughly 20 Years.

ClassicNairan:Clap for yourself, I guess I'm not allowed to guess on anything. @procashtips just dumped names of countries without providing any actual data on them. He expected me to go and do research for his own claim, therefore wasting my own time. I knew very well some of the countries he named and therefore easily debunked his claims on them, but for the ones which I didn't know, I replied by guessing they were new countries. Oh I was wrong. Clap for yourself again. But just one simple fact San Marino's constitution is from the 1970's. How is that older than the USA's democracy ? I find it hard to understand what type of silly game some of you are playing. @procashtips was just basically trying to have me waste my time researching his baseless claims. I don't operate with you people's crazy rules of discussion where people don't need to prove their claims and it is those at the recieving end of the claims who need to do research on the claims. Here I've just wasted 5 minutes to find out the constitution of this unknown country is from the 1970's which debunks @procashtips claim of it having a democracy older than the USA's. News flash: I don't know every country on earth ! |

ClassicNairan:So a country which got its constitution in 1974 has a democracy which is older than the usa's democracy ? Look what I don't tolerate is people who make their own facts. And to them, this is what I have to say: It is ok to not be a fan of the usa, but don't change reality to suit your feelings. As some people say, facts don't care for feelings. Stop thinking with your feelings, use your brain instead. Being skilled in mathematics doesn't eliminate me from geopolitical debates nor does it make me less skilled than others on geopolitics. I've basically been debunking the "skilled geopoliticians" for a while here. Also being a "skilled" geopolitician doesn't imply you are above logic and can make up your logic and your facts. |

Ghostagain: Why I have decided to ignore this mindset over times on this thread, I must say, this mindset too is dangerously shallow and narrow. Democracy by definition is the government of the majority. The Nigerian model of democracy isn't and shouldn't be a basics of comparison because the people are not allowed to exercise the power vested in them by the Constitution to chose their leaders. No thanks to an entrenched system of rigging that is now the norm in our elections. |
