[EM] Exact P.R. - Multiple Plurality Winners 21 June 2014

[DNOW1 at aol.com]

A very simple P.R. method -- legislative body elections -- to get past the 
armies of math morons --- with their fixation with single member plurality / 
gerrymander AREA stuff.

Exact P.R. - Multiple Plurality Winners 

Candidates file pre-election rank order lists of the other candidates that 
are made public.

Each Elector/Voter votes for 1 candidate.

The highest M winners in an area are elected - multiple plurality winners. 

I suggest that M be 5 --- to represent the larger left/right factions.

P.R. has a bad name due to too many small one-issue parties.

Votes for losers get moved to the winner highest on the loser's rank order 
list.

Each winner has a voting power in the legislative body equal to the final 
direct plus moved votes that he/she gets.

ALL voters get represented -- both majority rule and minority 
representation.

Example- 100 Votes. Elect 5.
A 20 Elected
B 18 Elected
C 15 + 9 = 24 Elected
D 13 + 8 = 21 Elected
E 10 + 7 = 17 Elected
X 9 - 9 = 0 Loses, Votes to C
Y 8 - 8 = 0 Loses, Votes to D
Z 7 - 7 = 0 Loses, Votes to E
Total 100

----
Later - Condorcet Head to Head math using Number Votes with a YES/NO 
tiebreaker (for larger factions having sub-faction problems).
e.g. some/all of the XYZ folks may be united enough to be 1 of the 5 larger 
factions.
----------
Longer term -- Each Elector/Voter has a direct or proxy vote in legislative 
bodies -- would require a 100 percent secure voting system.
i.e. Agent legislators might only be giving speeches/data to each other -- 
with the voters doing the actual voting -- esp. on *major* stuff.
