Actually our nation in the US did start as a singular country that split into states... After the first split of the new england colonies other states and territories were annexed in by state but based off of federal or national law. If we happened to just be a conglomerate of like minded states there would have been no civil war as there would have been no need for ceding of the southern states as they would have already been autonomous.

I would like to say something about our American voting system and third parties... But I'm afraid it would bring back our Australian troll.

Meh. I think votes don't count for much anyway, but sometimes you want to and just don't get the chance. The state leaves the election booths open after they've already sent the state vote. But I agree with saber-scorpion, the choices are horrible most of the time.

If we went to a popular vote your vote would count even less. Besides which, even though most everyone has forgotten it, America is a coalition of states who banded together, not a nation who happened to divide itself up that way.

This is a new favorite for me. I hate that stupid saying. I always vote, but I support the right to complain of those who do not. All too often, the only choices we have to vote for are all horrendous, forcing you to simply pick the lesser of two evils... and when you add it all up, your vote doesn't count for much, thanks to the electoral college and election by states instead of individuals. There are a lot of flaws in the system...
