Species
gollark: The UK's is... somewhat less bad, as at least recently had a vaguely credible third party, and it doesn't have a system quite as bad as the electoral college, at least.
gollark: It *is* annoying how badly many countries' electoral systems are broken.
gollark: But they didn't really want to explicitly say as much because it would sound bad.
gollark: A plausible explanation I heard about the whole thing is that the Navy was assuming that it wouldn't go away for a while, and that the people on their ships were not very at risk of bad symptoms but also likely to get infected in large numbers and couldn't really be pulled out of service.
gollark: I too enjoy dying from easily preventable diseases.
