Has there ever been a political party that just dissolved since nobody was willing to vote for them?

 

[sp1023]

Progressives? Or maybe the Whigs.

The Federalists. The Whigs. The Know Nothings. Other nations will give other examples.

Know Nothings? Who would name their party that?

And thanks once again for answering my questions.

The Australian Democrats dissolved just last year - or the year before, can't remember - due to the fact that they had approximately five people elected across the nation, in both federal and every state government. The few remaining members became independents who often vote the same.

I got one: Do you think that Yoko Ono corrupted and eventually put an end to The Beatles?

no. she had a profound impact, yes, but she was not the sole reason for it.

The Long and Winding Road killed the Beatles.
So did For You Blue (which was put on in place of a Harrison peice, and he wasn't quite happy before it).
So did Phil Spector.
and Brian Epstein's death.

lots of factors, cant blame it all on her.

How do you pronounce umlaut?

 

[Dachs]

How do you pronounce umlaut?

Which one? There are a coupla different uses. There's the umlaut as archaically used in coöperation (diaeresis, I think), and there's the umlaut as used in German words like Röhm.

Uhm-lowt.

They still exists IIRC, but they have no representation at all in the federal parliament.

I'm pretty sure they outright dissolved, but maybe that was just the few federal members deciding to go independent.

 

[Tee Kay]

They're still with us, apparantly.

You beat me to it, I just checked that myself. One member in South Australia, you'd think they'd just throw in the towel.

Does anyone know of anything that would take a list of postal codes and plot them on a map automatically? Like maybe some kind of Google Earth plugin?

While that is incredibly awesome, no, it's not what I mean. I have a very long list of codes that I just want to feed in in one go, and get a resulting map with lots of little pushpin-type icons (or whatever they look like) on it.
