the graphics did need an update but the music and the general feel of this theme was better.

@anchorman87 The "X" represents the choice on an old-fashioned paper ballot.
-
@Cnd1867 haha cheers, i try! :-)
-
@anchorman87 You know, just for that comment, i have to say thank you. Thank you because I think you are the first person I have ever met, or saw, on youtube who was able to #1) Stand up for his/her opinions all the way through a discussion/argumnet #2) Not insult the person at the same time #3) Recognize that the other person's argument may have some merit to it, you sir/ma'am are a one in a million kind of person, smart, articulate and calm, thank you for that

@Cnd1867 i guess there's a point in that, but i still think first past the post is flawed.
-
@anchorman87 But that's the national vote, Parliamentary democracy is a group of people voting for a single person to represent them in Parliament. National vote doesn't matter. If someone gets 10 votes, another gets 6 and another gets 5, who should win? The guy who got the most votes, purest form, if the other candidates can't convince voters enough in the sufficiency and wisdom of their platform, enough to get the most votes out of those cast, why should they get elected?
-
@Cnd1867 well not really, cause sombody can get 40% of the vote and win, yet 60% of people didnt vote for them.
-
@anchorman87 Why, first past the post is the purest form of democracy
-
not here, we vote with 1,2,3,4,5,6, sometimes 7 or 8....
I would have thought a place like Canada would use preferential voting.
-
@anchorman87 that's how you vote?...or have you not voted before?
Man, Elizabeth May is annoying in this clip.

The theme and the open are great, but the way they introduce Peter feels sort of primetime game show-y, like he's going to come out and say, "Hello, Canada, who's ready to find out who won their elections, and have a chance at one million dollars?"
