He shows why this country is where it is. In the worst of both or all worlds.
No pr . Unlike the EU where most Liberal parties with our support would have many seats, those of us who have a real desire to contribute would get elected.
No two big parties. Unlike the US where I wuld be in a party that can win, which I was in the Labour party but am not in this. But not arguing with or about Marxists and extremists.
Such an impressive guy. He would have my vote for POTUS if he stands in 2020!
O’Rourke’s slogan “I wouldn’t vote for a politician I had never seen either” is one to recycle.
