@danbrotherston @ohtheurbanity ... Ranked Choice, typically implemented as Instant-Runoff Voting, is still prone to vote-splitting which disadvantages similar parties or candidates. Unlike https://STARvoting.org or Approval's simultaneous sums, IRV counts only the first-choice vote. So, even if 70% of people are united against the anti-bike-lanes candidate, IRV won't cut them from the running if the majority is split between candidates, who will be haphazardly eliminated, ballots "exhausted".
@enobacon @danbrotherston @ohtheurbanity I still think proportional voting like most of the #EU - espechally #Germany - does is the best practical option to get a representative result…
- It's just shit when 25% decide to betray the constitution and it's values…
