[EM] Voter strategising ability

[robert bristow-johnson]

> Assuming that people are happy with strategic voting,

i don't understand why would anyone assume that.


the main "strategy" voters have available to them is the wonderful fun 
strategy call "Compromising".  so we get to strategize and forsake our 
favorite candidate and dilute our political position in the electorate.  
that's a real happy situation to be happy with.


what we want is a voting system that is safe, simple, allows expression, 
and rewards sincerity over strategy.  despite the protestations from the 
Score and Approval folks, i have never been persuaded by them that their 
solution beats the Ranked Ballot and a Condorcet compliant method to 
tabulate the ballots and determine the winner.
