re: #184 wozzablog

Horse trading happens in all democracies. My main concern is that the US legislature (of the Presidents own party) managed to muff a fairly simple task of implementing the main policy goal he had - and not one which at the time was particularly unpopular in the polls - i linked a Kaiser survey at the time which gave the Public Option plan 65% approval.

I couldn’t see that sort of monumental failure happening in Britain.

I bet its because in the UK you don’t need 60% vote in the upper house to get things done.

Am I right?

Seriously, we need to reform the filibuster, NOW!
