    I just hope they do something good without breaking world order.
    Another fine example on why we shouldn't vote on parties, but rather on what we wish to see accomplished, and then see the parties try to make it happen. Now THAT is democracy.

    Don't you do that when you vote anyway? The whole point of the party system is the idea of a platform.

    No, it isn't.
    For example, the pirate party - they want to lessen copyright rules, yet who says they won't make it legal to upload copyrighted stuff so others can download - on purpose?
    I don't agree with that.

    Furthermore, why do I have to choose between a subset of things I would like to see?
    Like part A does stuff A and party B does stuff B. Which one should I vote on? Why should I have to prioritize?
    And what if some of their views differ from mine?

    I don't like the system. Not one bit.
    I don't want to find out what the parties want, say or does, and dislike.
    I know what I want and dislike and I want to vote on THAT.

    This is exactly why I don't vote on anything.

    The point would be to have parties so focused you either agree with them or you don't

    Wouldn't "making it legal" be to "lessen copyright rules"? There is no contradiction there...
    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
    3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
    cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
