	British Columbia Election - Democracy ill-served
		Only in countries which use the British parliamentary system, or a copy thereof, is such a travesty of democratic principles possible.
		This acceptance is emphasized by some reporters referring to Premier Glen Clark's win as a "mandate." From where I sit, when a small minority in a general election produces a mandate that a large majority must suffer, there is something seriously out of whack with the system that produced it.
		When reviewing the British Parliamentary system we suffer, I’ll bet that even the English electors are as sick as we are of the system invented by their long dead ancestors which also, like us, renders them almost politically impotent.
