Personally, I think elections should be free to love whomever they choose. Who are we to force them into one orientation or another? ;)
As ever, I am intrigued by the Parliamentary Governing system. Obviously it works, else it wouldn't be in far more free governments than the one outlined in the US Constitution. I think I get it for the most part, but, if you please, would you define "bi-elections" for a south of the border fella?
So, I spell all bad and the like. The term should be "By-elections", and I guess they're equivalent to what you call "special elections", if I understand terms correctly.
Apparently Scotland and New Zealand have proportional representation and they hold by-elections. I'm having difficulty wrapping my head around that idea, though.
thanks for the clarification. I am completely unfamiliar with the term, so I didn't even know it was misspelled. Thanks for your patience with the uneducated :)
