[EM] non-transferable voting is defective

The reason to believe non-transferable voting is defective comes from HG 
Wells, and I fully agree with it. It seems someone here doesn't.

Paraphrasing, Wells said, whenever the simple and obvious method of a 
single non-transferable vote is used, elections divide into two 
antagonistic factions, describing modern Anglo-American politics 
perfectly, and also, for that matter, the party-list world, which 
generally forms two coalitions of left versus right, from a leading 
party list with some 20% or 30+% of the votes.

The voting systems of the world are a politicians-made anarchic 
self-seeking shambles.

Regards,

Richard Lung.
