US Political Parties Part 2

Posted on March 12, 2025 | Leave a comment

Federal Political Party funding

Each week all the donations to all the listed, registered, and official Parties, and PAC’s is totaled. An amount equal to that is distributed to all registered parties equal to their percentage of the national vote total. You have 14% of the national vote total you get 14% of the registered party fund, one vote, one dollar. Another equal amount is distributed equally to the Official Parties. One Party, one dollar with each getting the same amount from the official party fund.

Then the total funding for the Parties is 1/3 by donations, 1/3 by votes to the registered parties, and 1/3 equally to the 4, 5, or 6 official parties.

An alternative is to make only the donors pay with no matching funds by the taxpayers. One third of the money goes to the Party with a third of the money paid into the registered party fund and a third into the official party fund. This is totaled and paid out each week. These people are voluntarily putting some big money on the table so let them pay for supporting the principles of Democracy.

Like your kid in a school election where they all get equal time and access. Old outdated ideas in a social media little titty screen world.

Lost in the crowd

Posted on July 6, 2024 | Leave a comment

84 candidates in the last by-election, this is a bigger joke then Justin Trudeau. Hello! Liberals, past time to ditch this dude. Here’s how to get the candidates for an election in a 3 month process.

First month, by the 15th any person on the voter’s list for the riding can pay the registration fee and declare that they’re a candidate or nominate someone who is also on the riding’s voter’s list. Also by the 15th the top 2 candidates in the last election can declare they are running again and are automatically on the ballot. This incumbency is vested in the people and not the Party. By the end of the month those who got nominated must accept being a candidate.

The first endorsement period lasts till the end of the second month where anyone on the voter’s list may publicly endorse one of the candidates including any incumbent. If there is no incumbent running the top 8 most endorsed go to the second endorsement period that lasts till the end of the third month. If one incumbent is running then the top 7 most endorsed go on and if both incumbents are on the ballot the top 6 endorsed non-incumbents go to the second endorsement period.

The second endorsement period lasts till the end of the third month. No incumbents running it’s the top 6 endorsed candidates who get on the ballot. One incumbent it’s the top 5 non incumbent candidates and both incumbents running the top 4 non incumbent candidates make it to the ballot.

The 6-5-4 rule is you want choice without fragmentation. Not too many candidates and not too few. 6 candidates where you want a popular choice, 4 candidates where you want to know the candidates better for an important office, and 5 candidates for a mid-range choice.

The 6-5-4 Rule

Posted on May 24, 2021 | Leave a comment 
Or what happens when Goldilocks runs elections. You want enough candidates to have a good number of choices but not so many you can't keep track of all the candidates. One candidate is out, unless you are in a dictatorship that pretends it's not. Two candidates can give you 2 who are polar opposites or you can have just another pair of dwiddle dee and dwiddle dumb. Three candidates is better but is still a limited number of choices. Four gives an acceptable number of candidates. Is double digits, the big 1-0, too many candidates? Yes; and how about 9 candidates, too many; lets make it 8, still a big field; just 7 candidates, that's better but still kinda high. Is a field of 6 candidates the most that should be allowed in an election? Yes, a fairly broad selection without being too fragmented. 
There you go, you want to avoid a limited choice of candidates without having a fragmented field of too many. Take the lower number for more important elective offices where you want to know the candidates better. The middle to open the field more and the high number for the most number of choices. For my neighbours to the south have the 4 candidates in the elections for Mayor, Governor and other state wide offices, and the President. For the 50 Senates (US senate & 49 state senates) have 5 candidates in the election. For the House of Representatives, lower House of the State Legislatures, and municipal councils have the high number of 6 candidates to give the most choices.

Government Formation

Posted on October 24, 2019 | Leave a comment

On the fourth Monday after the election (Nov 18th) Parliament reconvenes. The members are sworn in and the election of the Speaker of the House is held. After the Speaker is sworn into office they put the question to the House “who does the House nominate to form a government for the 43rd Parliament of Canada”?. Any Member may nominate someone but by custom and precedence only those who know that 5% of the full House of Commons (17 of the 338) will endorse their nominee actually stand up to nominate. For a Party that has 17 members or get that number to back them their most senior member is the one to stand up and nominate their Party Leader for Prime Minister.

In this Parliament the most senior members of the Liberal, Conservative, Bloc, and NDP parties stand up and in order of their seniority in the House nominate their respective Party Leaders. All of whom will get the 17 or more members to endorse their Leader as PM. The 4 Leaders go to Rideau Hall the next day where they are formally asked to form a council-designate for consideration to form the government for the 43rd Parliament. Those councils are put to a government formation vote in the House where the Speaker asks the MPs “which of these council-designates have the confidence of this House to be the government of Canada”?

First vote Liberal 158 / Conservative 121 / Bloc 32 / NDP 27. The NDP is removed from the second ballot and the Bloc withdraws from it as well. Last vote Liberals 158 / Conservative 153. Green and NDP abstain and Bloc backs the Tories. And done.

Thursday the Speaker swears in the Bloc and NDP as shadow councils. Saturday the Governor-General at Rideau Hall swears in the Conservative council-designate as the Council of Opposition. Sunday the GG does the same for the Liberals as the Council of Ministers.

And done and works even if the Commons was all independents.
