[Election-Methods] Partisan Politics

[Fred Gohlke]

Good Morning, Mr. Lundell

I'm sorry my response is taking so long, but I'm working my way through 
the link you gave me to John Stuart Mill's treatise regarding Mr. Thomas 
Hare's proposal.  He makes the case for political proportionality 
admirably, although his antipathy for his country's Conservative Party 
forces some extra care in considering his arguments.

It will take me a bit longer to compose my response.  The temptation to 
cite segments of Mill's essay and comment on them is strong, but I'd 
like to avoid doing so.

I am posting now to thank you for providing such a powerful link.  I'd 
had a small exposure to Mill in a different context, but was unaware of 
this treatise.  I'm enjoying his thoughts and his mode of expressing 
them.  Digesting them is worth the effort.  I commend them to anyone 
with an interest in the topic.

Fred
