85. Most of ours probably do too

bad thing about multi-parties, a lot of vote splitting. From what I read, the PCP and CA merged because Liberals were winning by plurality.

We only applaud dumping the registry. That works both ways. Folks on your side of the gun issue would applaud Reagan for the Mulford Act. That does not change the fact that he was still a brain dead right winger.

People of different ideologies can and do agree on a few things, some times for different reasons.
For example, Bernie Sanders and Ron Paul (which is why he will never get the nomination, the war profiteers hate his guts), I share basically the same views on foreign policy, drug laws, and nationalizing the Fed. Beyond that, Ron Paul is extremely right wing and Sanders describes himself as a democratic socialist.

You might describe the current governor of Montana as a "gun militant" but he is also does not let corporations run amok and is working to set up a single payer system in that state.

I would hope your current government would keep the reasonable and useful provisions and dump the pointless and stupid ones.
