I don't agree;however, let us have the debate regarding the primary system in the forum that counts - the Alaska Legislature.  Currently discussion of  this issue of primary elections (along with hundreds of other issues) is simply not allowed. The influence method that stops debate has been refined now but  its' basic form  was so aptly demonstrated by Bill Allen who literally purchased the defacto veto of a single legislator who could refuse to hold a hearing on legislation that upset Mr. Allen.
