(I have always voted for a major party candidate, too.) My point: just because your system doesn't work exactly the way you want, it doesn't mean that it is a poor system.
+1. Great comments. The other part of the "throw the bums out" call that some like to throw out there, is who is going to replace these people? I've yet to see a single person who said "throw them out" say that they would take the job, or better yet offer
any practical solutions.
