The reason the electoral college isn't going to change is that it is mandated in the Constitution.

Pay attention America, because this is a topic that often goes unnoticed in our media, but is very important. This year is becoming quite an election year with not only elections in the U.S., but elections in Russia, France, Greece, and other European countries with the final round of French presidential elections happening last Sunday. The important aspect of this for us here in the U.S. is the European economy. For some time now, the European governments have enacted austerity measures to get themselves out of the debt crisis. Unfortunately, I think one of the side effects of this is stunted or negative economic growth, which has resulted in recession for many of the countries. The importance the French presidential election is the newly elected French president, François Hollande, who is pushing for a balance between balancing the budget and economic stimulus as well as more taxes on the rich, while his incumbent, Nicolas Sarkozy and current president, pushed for austerity measures in Europe. It appears the French voters rejected this policy of austerity as are many countries in Europe, including Greece. Here is a nice video on it. http://www.pbs.org/n...ion1_05-07.html While Europe is very different from the U.S., the politics are very similar as we have the same questions to answer. Do we also go for austerity measures to fix our budget and lower our debt, or instead match it with more stimulus to assist in repairing the economy? It will be interesting to see how this plays out in Europe if only to see the salubrity of the economic policies.
