[EM] Poll on voting-systems, to inform voters in upcoming enactment-elections

[Richard Lung]

This poll, I gather from the unfamiliar sounding names, is of 
single-member systems. But there need not be two classes of election 
systems, single-member and multi-member. There are not two truths of 
electoral system. There is (one truth) general electoral system

It has been believed that the lack of proportional representation in 
single-member systems set them apart. But this is not necessarily the 
case. It is possible to have a general election system that works the 
same way for single-member systems as multi-member systems. Indeed 
(pardon me) I have invented it! The way it is done is to hold both an 
election count and an exclusion count, based on keep values, and average 
them, whether in a single or multi-member system.

This redeems single-member systems for a rational count, as in 
multi-member systems. Without this, single-member systems, unlike 
multi-member systems, are stuck at a sub-rational level of accuracy, and 
are basically (“last past the post”) elimination counts.

Regards,

Richard Lung.
