Jameson:

You said:

There are other methods which you don't mention even though their advantages are similar to those of the ones you do.

Regarding the co-operation/defection problem, there are about 4 possibilities:



1. Just propose MTA and Keep the co-operation/defection problem.

Majority
 Judgment has similar advantages to MTA in this case.

Does it? Who knows? Have its proponents told what criteria it meets and specifically what guarantees it
offers?

How does it do in the Approval bad-example? (to compare it to MTAOC)

What majority-rule guarantees does it offer? Does it meet 3P or 1CM?

It probably has a strategy situation very much like that of ordinary RV. The method of summed scores.


4. Find a simpler method that has those advantages.

Such as SODA.

Go ahead and propose the enactment of SODA somewhere if you think that a method involving 
delegates or proxies is as winnable as methods that do not.

If one is going to propose a method involving proxies, then Proxy DD is the biggest and most
ambitious improvment. I described it in a posting when you asked about it. 

Though it's a much more ambitious thing to ask for, maybe people _would_ want a
good proxy system such as Proxy DD.  A good single-winner method should be used with it.

There's much well-justified distrust of politicians. People know that nearly all politicians
are bought, and care more about their contributors than about the public interest. It may
well be, then, that people are ready for Proxy DD.
