point systems use more information?

[David Marsay]

Dear Mike,

As a supporter of Condorcet, how familiar are you with John Locke? I 
have not yet got an authoritative paraphrasing, but your remark about 
LO2E resonates with Locke's views on short-term versus long-term 
decisions. If - as Locke supposes - the constitution should balance 
these, they must at least both be reflected, as you say. I wonder if 
Condorcet had this in mind when developing his voting method?
