Subject: RE: BS: Earn my vote in 2010
"Vote out the incumbents" might be satisfying, but it doesn't make any differennce. It just means they take turns.

One flawq with most electoral systems is that you don't have a chance to vote people out - you can only vote the other people in. It might be interesting to have elections in which people had two votes - one for and one against. You wouldn't get in if more people cast votes against you than for you.
