[Vision2020] Bernie/Hillary Coalition Would Have Huge Parliamentary Majority

[Nicholas Gier]

Good Morning:

The Economist (7/16/16) published a graphic, which I can't access even
though I'm a subscriber, which shows what the government would look like if
we went to a parliamentary system.

During 4/22-26/16 YouGov polled Americans and gave them a choice in a 5-way
election, and allocated the seats proportionally by census region
(Northeat, Midwest, South, and West). The results were as follows:

Sander's Social Democratic Party: 26% of vote and 113 seats.  Kudos for
Bernie for making democratic socialism an acceptable American option.

Clinton's Liberal Party: 28% of vote and 124 seats.  "Liberal" is the wrong
word here for European "liberals."  They most always sided with
conservative parties, the most recent Conservative/Liberal government in
Britain.

Kasich's Conservative Party: 9% of vote and 37 seats

Cruz's Christian Coalition: 11% of vote and 49 seats

Trump's People's Party: 26% of vote and 112 seats.  Conforms percentage
wise and platform wise with similar anti-immigrant People's Parties in
Europe, which sadly are growing in strength.

The Bernie/Hillary Coalition wins handily by 237-198, and it would be able
to pass legislation (without veto or filibuster) and move the country in a
much needed progressive direction.  Congressional gridlock would be a thing
of the past.

This is constitutional amendment that I would support.

shall never sit in.

-Greek proverb

“Enlightenment is man’s emergence from his self-imposed immaturity.
Immaturity is the inability to use one’s understanding without guidance
from another. This immaturity is self- imposed when its cause lies not in
lack of understanding, but in lack of resolve and courage to use it without
guidance from another. Sapere Aude! ‘Have courage to use your own
understand-ing!—that is the motto of enlightenment.

--Immanuel Kant
