AshenkaseTotally agree, labs are part dog, part fish.
I don't know anything about Portuguese water dogs... but i'm guessing they don't have too much on a Lab in water.
siftbotHappy anniversary! Today marks year number 7 since you first became a Sifter and the community is better for having you. Thanks for your contributions!
oritteropoAh, OK then. That makes sense. In fact, as I heard it, some of the strangest rules are at the local level (prohibiting outdoor clothes lines??? Really!?!?!?! Mandating instead of prohibiting watering lawns in a drought?!?). Obviously the way in to your Federal senate is by taking over a state... which is a bit of an ask.
The reason the greens are so strong in the Senate here is that the way the votes are counted means that in some cases you can get a Senate seat with almost 0% of the vote (and some sneaky preference alliances). One of our former prime ministers (Paul Keating) described them as "unrepresentative swill" as a result of this.
Thanks for the information and the link to the article.
Sadly no they hold no national level positions in the legislature and i'd be very surprised if there were than a couple even at the state level. It is a relatively young party here in the US and i believe their focus is very much on the local level, such as town councils and mayors office.
The two party system you've heard about is largely the reality, though there are hundreds of parties. None hold any meaningful power on the national level, and even locally politics are dominated by the two.
oritteropoIt was 10pm, in Canberra, and there was one other senator present as well as the speaker. I've put a link to a newspaper report on the speech back in the video comments.
I didn't know there was an American Green Party... do they hold many seats? I've only ever heard the U.S. described as a two party system.
@oritteropo
For clarification, from where is he speaking and to whom?... the room seems entirely empty.
Also it sounds very much like the American Green Party.
PlayhousePalsAnother year come and gone ... Happy Birthday Januari!

That accidents were about 75% less painful to watch than the music was to listen to in most cases.
