Why do Americans choose from just two people
to run for president and 50 for Miss America ?
(footnote:I'm running out of good puns so I've decided to switch to PARAPROSDOKIANS.
PARAPROSDOKIANS (Winston Churchill loved them) are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently humorous.)
That's a question I've been also wondering as a Finn. The two-party-democracy is something hard to understand :D
ReplyDeleteWe're having presidential election in February with 8 candidates.
Not so many as in Miss Finland competition, though :D
That's what happens when you're a Federal Republic government and not a democracy. Oh, dear. Don't get me started. Turning away she could be heard mumbling term limits, Civics exam especially on the Constitution before candidates could run...
ReplyDeleteGood question.
