[EM] Comprehensive, Simple, and Informative Indicative

[robert bristow-johnson]

you're right Toby.  MP's can be expected to take on the burden that Olympic figure-skating judges do and consider deeply and convert their subjective impressions into numerical ratings.
But They're Partisans!!  They do not want their second-choice preference to defeat
their first-choice preference.  That will also affect how they adjust their Scores for each option that is neither their favorite option nor their most-hated option.


so i do not extend sympathy to MP's for being "burdened" with a tactical decision in their vote (as i do to regular citizen voters), but the issue still remains.  what keeps MP's from voting strategically, rather than sincerely, and a perverse Score outcome
results?
bestest,

(And i just cannot resist saying that pro-Brexit Brits are almost as silly and harmful as Trumpers are in the U.S.   Whatta goddamn shame.)

actually think of it.
