@Reptomon No he wasn't! He was just a little to "shelled" off and "cold blooded" for voter. And don't get me started on if he's a good Reptile or some crazy Amphibian

Canada needs this , if we did there would only be liberal and Ndp governments none of this torie bs . They only recieved 39% of the votes but still got a majority

@TheKinglord12345 I know. Both of those things are very sad :(

[TheKinglord12345]

@ScrapperTBP people found it to complicated and the US will never do it because that gives 3rd party people a chance
