Good Afternoon, Michael

Thanks for explaining.

In response to your question as to whether it is reasonable to expect 
that, at some point, there might be five concurrent processes involving 
five groups (or parties) with the turnout percentage that you described. 
  Yes, I think it is.

Is the approach Juho and I were looking at not passive in the sense that 
it does not seek candidates but accepts those nominated?

In a method like this, do you think competition, first within the groups 
(parties), and then between the groups would tend to have a moderating 
effect on the final choices of candidates?

Fred
