Let's just say we had a parliamentary system here, and Bush was PM rather than Prez....
Which event would have given him this vote (and remember it has to come from his own party)

2. Possibly....but consider the dynamics of Parliamentary Democracy |
|
If they tie themselves to a sinking ship, they lose seats next election - and sometimes those elections are forced with little or no warning.
In a Parliamentary system, you MUST negotiate.

What country do you think we're in, and what year do you think it is?
Democracies are so 20th Century.
