senate voting rules - be careful, page-25

Unless of course you believe that a ragtag bunch can ad something to democracy that a 2 party system cannot. I have to admit that over the last term some of these ragtag senators have come of age, something I didn't think would be possible. For the uninitiated handing accountability and responsibility is a better prospect than giving it to career politicians who manipulate every aspect of the system they are trained in from a very young age, you don't get that when you are dropped in from outside and have to scramble for credibility.
