[EM] Rational counts for election and exclusion

[Richard Lung]

Dea All,

There is so much disagreement on a subject when not much is known about 
it; it hasn't advanced much as a science.  Everyone thinks they are an 
expert, because they vote. I thought so. Most scientific improvements 
came in the 19th century, from mathematicians developing the Hare 
system. STV (IMO) the best system perhaps only had one significant 
improvement in the 20th century (Meek method).
An outstanding problem with all the worlds elections is that they don't 
have rational counts. This is what PR campaigns are essentially all 
about.. FPTP is not a rational election. But no voting methods have a 
rational exclusion count, as well as a rational election count. All the 
worlds voting systems are at best half rational.
