I dont like it, but thats how it works, until someone campaigns on election reform and then doesnt do jack all about it.
I could vote for Lenin's corpse if he ran, but if the vast majority of everyone else still voted blue it wouldnt make any difference.

Yes, we all know how the parliamentary system technically works. We also know what considerations the electors have.
Tell me you voted for the individual because of the individual's policies and not his party's last election.
