[EM] Fwd: non-transferable voting is defective

[Richard Lung]

I received this:

"You still haven’t answered the question of what you mean by “electoral 
truth.” "

I've just given you an answer, which you have not answered.
Please do not be impertinent. It is only avoiding the issue of election 
method, of which you are accusing others.

Regards,

Richard Lung.

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.
