If "this" is indeed the system that was presented as an alternative to the citizens of BC then they were really wise in rejecting it. Having second or third choices may be justified, but extending lists to 10 items makes things just a little too opaque.mollymewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608757779720671118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32250954.post-14985538439892839302009-12-12T19:43:21.178-08:002009-12-12T19:43:21.178-08:00The system is nearly identical to the STV system B...The system is nearly identical to the STV system BC voted on, it's easy to vote (just rank) and the counting is a little complex, but you don't really have to worry about that (and almost shouldn't). Just put a 1 beside who you want to win, and then rank any others as you care to (you can get away with not voting for anyone but yourself).<br /><br />Good luck in round 2, I'm fourth of five in the Religion & Philosophy section (Terahertz Atheist) so I'll be in round 2 too.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08107622422843170178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32250954.post-34780418041751519392009-12-12T19:09:12.506-08:002009-12-12T19:09:12.506-08:00OK, we'll call a temporary truce to complain j...OK, we'll call a temporary truce to complain jointly about the bizarre method of voting over at the CBA. By the way, if you think I use impolite language to you you should see what I have to say about some of the squirrels that infest my own small corner of the political world. <br /> I'm just as uncertain as you are about the meaning of the first round of voting (I actually counted 48 rounds by scrolling down the page). Will there be a runoff, what I call 'Round 2', amongst the 10 "elected" candidate, or does the fact that 'Informed Vote' got over the set "threshold" mean that s/he is the winner. Damned if I know. Time will tell I guess.mollymewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608757779720671118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32250954.post-17836516468489982042009-12-12T05:02:09.496-08:002009-12-12T05:02:09.496-08:00Taking a moment from my "mouth-frothing, wate...Taking a moment from my "mouth-frothing, water-fearing, Indian-hating" agenda, I have to say that I agree with you...about the polling, not the mouth-frothing, water-fearing, Indian-hating bit. This website (DemoChoice.org) seems to be trying to make a point rather than a simple and effective way of voting in polls. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page it makes a little more sense when it shows the 10 candidates that were elected in "Round 47" not Round 2... (I'm still not sure who -- if anyone, won though!)Andrew Lawtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08939437037377827030noreply@blogger.com
