Sheesh lots of people misunderstood Friday's comments about the US election. I wasn't suggesting that the constituion was changed now, just that it ought to get fixed for next time. And as to lawyers, well I reckon that the legal people that would end up dealing with this sort of issue are political appointees and so will not be unbiased (whatever they say). The Us ought to get some independent, external election supervisors in - just like they do for other countries where the system doesn't work properly. Lots of people also seem to think that the complaints about the design of the ballot papers are bogus - I entirely disagree. The US ballot papers are some of the most complicated things I have ever seen. Designed without the slightest thought to human factors at all. I have a lot of sympathy for people who got confused by them.
