If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Sort of makes a mockery of the one man one vote democracy ethos doesn't it???? :shock: :shock:


I suppose you are advocating a dictatorship headed by your idol Cornsey?


No, just an observation not saying that my observation is correct, history is littered with examples of failed organisations/states that have not adhered to the democracy principle...
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Arguments against democracy go back as far as Plato - and I have to say I agree with many of them. For every one person who has the intelligence and wisdom to cast a vote properly, there are another 10 people who'd have trouble numbering the boxes from 1 to N, let alone make a rational choice. The signal is lost in the noise.

I've long thought that a voting ballot should come with a quadratic equation. If you don't solve the equation then your vote is informal. That would weed out a lot of the rubbish straight off.

Id vote for your suggestion Pseudo but I cant remember what the solution to the equation (x-1)(x+1)=0 is?

True, but they have not demonstrated the ability for logical thought.
