In a young and ...I favor having separate elections. In a young and inexperienced democracy like in Argentina, help people think what's best for them at different levels is a good thing. Not so good, may be, is the fact that there's more money involved, that people have to bother three times to vote and that there's political interests lobbying to be that way. However, the benefit outweighs the burden, if voters can concentrate better on what and who they are electing is a step forward for democracy. I hate the "long sheet" of candidates and the "small printing" when voting. <BR/>Here in the US, in preparation for next year presidential election, California has changed primary election from June to February.<BR/>Legislators hope the move will increase the influence of California's presidential primary, which had been in June and too late in the process for the state's voters to have much of an effect on the nomination battle in either major party. As many as 15 other states are considering moving primaries to same day.<BR/>Although is "primary election" (elect candidates for every party), state (or province)autonomy works in favor of their people and their will, or at least that's the way it looks on eye of the beholder.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
