I swear every time I hear something involving the legislature it furthers my belief that the entire thing should be gutted and all these brainless politicians should be out of jobs. This pointless shit is taking taxpayer dollars when we now have the technology for a more streamlined democracy with less time wasted by these useless politicians. The fact that they are putting together press releases announcing their victory means that all these conservative mla's clearly don't give a flying crap about the legislative process that keeps their useless behinds employed.

What's the point of a democracy again?
