Question: Actual reality politics in this country aside (i.e "It's never going to happen"), the Parliamentary systems of Britain, Israel, Japan, Germany etc. where multiple political parties exist and can have an actual 'piece of the action' to the extent of sometimes getting to be in charge of a portion of the actual Governmental Administration or at least real input on some pending legislation or governmental policies is at least superficially attractive.  

The ability to hang up everything to get your own way by one or more minorities is both the strength and the weakness of those systems, however. 

 Just as the 2/3 Senate super-majority requirement for some things is for our system.

Answer: No


Question: Quite an illuminating comment, to say the least.

White dude??  What if a non-white, and made my comment?  Would that make it more acceptable?  What if I was Hispanic, would the city NOT rezone my property?

Is "Bree" too cute for you to be objective about?  You sound like you may sit there in the meetings thinking more about how to shelter her, then the work at hand, "middle-aged white dude."

Answer: Yes


Question: Thomas R. Wilson - Your argument could be expanded to justify the legislature being in continuous session. Don't scoff. That is exactly why the US Congress is in nearly perpetual session. They weren't supposed to be and it has had far ranging consequences. We shouldn't want to go there.

The Alaska Leg session was originally only supposed to be 90 days, according to the State Constitution. Some other states have much shorter sessions and manage to get things done.

The length of session is not the problem. The legislators need to prioritize. Constitutionally, the ONLY job they have is passing a budget. They could do that in 90 days if they concentrated. Watch 360 North's Gavel to Gavel sometime and you'll see a lot of wasted time. If they started with the budget and, then, if they had time, they did these other things ... that would solve the problem right there. Lengthening the session would only encourage them not to get the work done.

Answer:
No
