Other ballots ... voting systems.What do other systems do? Check out voting systems in Wikipedia Here are some big reasons why I don't like the following systems AV / IRV with optional preferences, the spoiler problem AV / IRV limited, the spoiler problem and scarcity AV / IRV, full ranking - the spoiler problem and donkey voting Approval, unlimited votes and they all count until it hurts FPTP (1 X) made for a big t'ird, the best that approval can do Bucklin gives some candidates too many votes to win with Borda gives every voter one or two votes to lose with Range gives voters the opportunity to lose Condorcet (a pair-wise system) has a few very small problems Top 2 (TRS) goes on top of other systems, for two big t'irds STV built for little t'irds everywhere, downsizes the sides MMP built for parties, I have nothing good to say PR (lists) fills a smaller room to answer the same question Direct Democracy, neverendums and electronic voting? |
