Single Candidate Ballot

And a really simple slogan: "Vote For Hilly - Because We TOLD You To!"

Tell us, grubers: can you name some other famous places/political systems that give you a single choice?

I've read the word 'grubers' often in the blogs. What does it mean? I do know from the context that you're referring the Democrats, but wondered how the word gruber came to be.

btw: In our parliamentary system of democracy, we don't get to vote for the leader of our country. The party which gets the most members elected had picked their leader earlier. Hence, that person becomes our Prime Minister.

In his "lectures" about Obamacare, MIT Econ Professor Dr. Jonathan Gruber said that he (they) wrote the law to be confusing to fool people into going along with it.
