1) Has anyone else ever wished they could select particular parties to fill specfic government posts? ie. Foreign Affairs>Liberals, Ministry of National Defense>Conservatives, Social Programs>NDP, Enviroment>Green Party.
2) Should we adopt the Australian voting and Political system? They have mandatory voting (fine or imprisonment if you don't), increased proportional representation in politics.

I've never really thought about different parties for different government posts. It's an interesting thought though.
I don't like the Australian political system because well I don't believe it is all that democratic. I do wish more people would get out and vote. However I don't think they should be forced to. Part of a modern day democracy is the right to vote, but it's also the right to remain apathetic. As much as it irriates me when people are too lazy to get off their arses and vote, it's their choice.
