Your voting system is shit. It results in a two party state. If one party fails to present a coherent offering and the other one is infiltrated by nut jobs then the system breaks down. After all, if it was such a good system, why didn’t you impose it on Germany and Japan when you won WW2? (This comment is politically neutral; who the incoherents and the nut jobs are are left to the reader’s discretion)

That sounds like nonsense and it's certainly not what I've been taught when I've taken advanced first aid courses. It's true that the statistics are not on your side in that the CPR has only a 1 in 5 chance of being successful and that is if you start immediately after the persons heart stops, but that's no reason not to try it.

Recently, an acquaintance of mine was saved by two of his employees who performed CPR on him for 30 mins until the ambulance arrived. He was very lucky to have collapsed in front of them and that they had both been in the army and had good first aid medical. He was hospitalised for 3 weeks and he has memory problems now, but he's out of bed and there for his kids.

Only equivalent if where you buy lottery tickets they jump over the counter and beat the crap out of you every time you buy a ticket.
