Republicans now have a large majority in both houses of Congress, swept in with the midterm elections on a general belief President Obama is to blame for all the woes of America. The Economist says the people who voted for this Congress do not want to see Washington "pursue a wishlist of conservative policies."
I don't want to move into a opinion about politics on this blog. I thought the election results were important to note, however. Also interesting to report is the example made of California, and the attempt to make it's Congress more representational by curbing gerrymandering and holding open primaries. These two steps have redirected the current political climate of parties and candidates appealing to small enclaves of extremists for public policy.
