Questions

[Alex Small]

I want to add another thought about Forest's proposed proxy method:

Not only is it a reasonable first step toward better single-winner
methods, it is also a step toward PR.  Indeed, the candidates will
essentially form an "electoral college" chosen by PR, in that each
candidate's vote has a weight proportional to his support from the
electorate.  This body only makes a single decision, but it will introduce
the public to the notion that "If party X gets y% of the vote it should
constitute y% of an elected body."

I think this may be the best first-step reform to propose to the public,
as it serves as a bridge to two different categories of reforms.
