Matt Munson has this article about the two California bills that would increase the number of one-candidate elections for Congress and state office, SB 712 and AB 141. The article appears in The Orange Juice Blog, a well-read politics blog in Orange County, California’s second most populous county.
Well of course. This is the natural progression of “top-two.” It is the intent and the reality of “top-two” that it will lead to a one-party state just as in the old USSR.
And in a one-party state, where the “Top-two” party is the only party allowed to have a primary, the only party allowed to place candidates on the ballot and the only party to appear on the General Election ballot in November, it is only a small step to eliminating as many of those pesky second place candidates as possible.
“Just vote for the choice we give you, Comrade. Who needs free elections when you can all be members of the “Top-two” party.”
“Top-two” or top one, it’s all the same for the power elite behind this evil power grab.
All hail the one-party system called “top-two.”
