I suspect that a system (here an electoral decision system) cannot be
both rational (sincere, anomaly free) and decisive at the same time.

I have no formal proof.  But I think we must step outside the decision
system.  It takes a combination of systems - one rational, say, and
one decisive - brought into a mutual relation in order to act (elect)
both rationally and decisively.
