hi,

one thing that was noticed in the election is the power a single house that:

a. finds agreement between the SGs
b. enforces SG (party) discipline on its voters

can have in elections


Basically a house that can do this can control the election and force the result to a runoff for its candidate where s/he either wins or is blocked.

And if  both houses can meet the condition then we get deadlock.

I don't know if people care, but i had not noticed this property before the election. and if we care, then maybe we can talk about it.

a.

ps. this is not meant to criticize the recent election in any way. it was just a property of the election mechanism we have.
