It is if the system is way too complex. And it is. And that is deliberate. It's not a democracy, it's a con game. ================= Onya bike Gerry

If a person never speeds, never wheelies, never breaks the law and rides a litre-class sports bike they are NOT a hoon. They no doubt want people to think they are a hoon (or the 2nd coming of M Doohan) but that doesn't make them one. At best they are FAIL at hoon... G-S

No. The voters need to be educated about how voting works regardless of the system. Are you saying we should dumb down the system of election to the lowest common denominator just so that the people will understand how their vote counts, while at the same time shifting to a system which less represents their wishes? The whole concept is incomprehensible to me because I can't understand how people could be asked to number boxes from 1 to n in their order of preference, and yet not understand that they were numbering boxes from 1 to n in their order of preference. It doesn't sound like rocket science to me. Maybe we should only let people who understand how voting works, vote, which unfortunately for you will remove your right to a vote, based on what you've posted in this thread :) Nev.. '08 DL1000K8 |
