I dunno about the validity of the US thing, it probably isn't true, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were. We sort of like to stick our nose in other people's (and peoples') business.
And hmm, I'm going to have to do more reading on the political system of Australia. Y'all have proportional representation, which is a concept I'm trying to figure out. We supposedly have first-past-the-post, but then there's the Electoral College when it comes to the President, so apparently it doesn't count there, and OMG, I am the biggest geek ever.
