And the fact is that England's, by all accounts, works even better than the Canadian one, and that France's and Germany's systems work far better than England's. So why should we -- supposedly a go-getter, can-do country -- be satisfied with a system that's so far down the list? Should we be satisifed with just <i>saying</i> "We're Number One!"? Shouldn't we actually <i>be</i> number one? Having seen the Canadian system, it works pretty well, better overall, I’d have to say, than the American one despite its problems.

That's not only perfectly defensible (maybe even self-evident); it's also a far cry from calling it The Best System Ever. But hey, it's a lot easier to run against ideas of your own creation than ideas held by other people.

It's not ignorance - it's yet another Straw Man attack. They are creating Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt among the electorate by misrepresenting their opponents' positions. Again. Still. Oh, maha, you know better.
