[EM] JS Mill's _Representative Government_, chapter 7

[Steve Barney]

I am reading John Stuart Mill's great classic book, _Representative
Government_. Chapter 7 is all about the representation of minority
views, and much of that is about Hare's proportional STV method. To
see where he is coming from, it would be a good idea to read the
previous chapter, too. In case anyone would like to discuss it, you
can read it online here:

"Unless you can refute the central argument of this book, you should now recognize that speciesism is wrong, and this means that, if you take morality seriously, you should try to eliminate speciesist practices from your own life, and oppose them elsewhere. Otherwise no basis remains from which you can, without hypocrisy, criticize racism or sexism."
