Because ‘first past the post’ election schemes work just fine when only one party is on the ballot.
One of our political sources counted. In 2022, only 10% of state legislators had opposition in their primary election. Two-thirds of state legislators had no opponent in the General Election.
Massachusetts needs a Second Party, the Republicans being effectively not in business here, that views recruiting and supporting candidates for state legislature and other as an important mission.
South Carolina LP Convention this week in Charleston, November 10-12.
There will be a presidential candidate debate Saturday evening with six individuals,
Oliver, der Maat, Smith, Mapstead, Hornberger, Rectenwald hosted by Words and
Numbers podcasters. A professional audio-visual team has been retained to film
same which will later be posted to several on-line venues.
Would be interested in an article put together by myself?
Thanks.
