The Dolphin is an amazing car, fabulous to drive.  Usually small cars are noisy, especially engine noise.  The Dolphin has large wheels too.  I was so impressed I kicked myself for not buying 2.  The XKR convertible was also unusual. The driving position was too high, the supercharger whine was great and it changed gear with a click, instantly one gear to the next.  It didn&#x2019;t feel all that quick, but it was very quick.</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 23:45:11 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>My view today.</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1362457-my-view-today/?do=findComment&comment=20557961]]></link><description>Good morning, another perfect day in paradise!</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 23:42:50 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>The party whose Member represents a Nazi, News</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1396450-the-party-whose-member-represents-a-nazi-news/?do=findComment&comment=20557960]]></link><description>Not sure it has been mentioned, but the skull and crossbones also forms the cap badge of the Royal Lancers.

While multiple parties run and win seats, the Labour Party and the Conservative Party have monopolized power and alternated forming governments for over a century. However, the traditional two-party dynamic is experiencing unprecedented fragmentation. The United States operates under a de-facto two-party system, dominated by the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. While smaller "third" parties exist (such as the Libertarian Party and the Green Party), the two major parties have won every presidential election since 1852 and hold almost all seats in Congress The point i amtrying to get over is Limited Representation and is a very old system and to make matters worse the yanks throw in the Electoral college which Disenfranchises voters and can lead to Popular vote conflicts: which can lead to a president being elected who actually lost the national popular vote</description><pubDate>Wed, 17 Jun 2026 23:28:42 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>My Generation: This guy is HOT.
