@BriWrites Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
@BriWrites It’s in the book. If you google the phrase on its own you’ll see what it means, but it might be a spoiler. 🙂
Should the ruling party be able to change PMs mid-term? http://t.co/zKRiIobhht #YDNo #YouDecide9
@witty_knitter I think of it like the US Pres election. I don’t elect the Pres either; it’s votes for Electoral College. Which is silly…
@witty_knitter …because the outcome in the end is as if you’d directly elected the Pres, right?
@mrbenjaminlaw @rowenaboggle @witty_knitter The typo in the browser title made me scream before I even got to the article.
@witty_knitter When Obama comes to visit, who does he meet? The Governor General is a figurehead. That’s how it appears to this outsider.
@witty_knitter The President is the head of the Executive Branch. My understanding is that the PM is also the head of the Exec branch.
@witty_knitter It’s just that your Executive and Legislative are not separated.

@witty_knitter Regardless of the way it’s meant to work, the Australian (& British) system is taking on the US “cult of personality” aspect.
@witty_knitter If the majority of voters feel like they’re electing the PM (whether or not they actually are), maybe that’s the new reality.
@witty_knitter (I am mostly just winding you up here, as I sense you are tilting at a big-ass windmill.)
@witty_knitter (It’s like me and the phrase “begs the question.” At some point you give up or you go crazy.)
@witty_knitter What actual difference does it make? They don’t actually tick a box by the PM’s name, do they? They’ll figure it out.
