your election contribution subscription now have his E-ear.
Every vote your candidate is able to make also comes to you, his
supporter.

untrained,
unskilled workers working somewhere with no concern for
environmental impact or employee safety, by all means, click the radio
button choice in your email to let him or her know none of those things

This would be an incentive to vote for the candidate deemed
likely to win, rather than the one whose ideals, or policies,
or character the voter most approved of. |

Hence useful in a
country with many small political parties
that
have difficulty forming stable governing coalitions, but less
so in a country with a de facto two-party system. |

The two party system was not envisioned by our founders, I
suspect. I suspect it would cause their annoyance to a higher
level than even my own. |
