Reformers are missing something if they don't pay close attention to the
facts of the case.
RCV is actually Ranked Negative Choice Voting. The main point of this
campaign is to waylay candidates who fall foul of an elimination count,
afforded by ranking the vote. A positive ranked choice of representation
depends on a muti-member district proportional count, like Cambridge system.
Eventually, voters are going to become restless with a system, in single
member districts, that does little for their better representation.
(As someone said, tho, the Burlington example is an "outlier"; an
academic pedantry. It is essentially, a candidates gripe, not a voters
lack of representation. Condorcet pairing strikes me as of a piece with
Anglo-American single-member monomania.)
Single member monopolies are too dictatorial, and to be avoided for a
more peaceful, accountable government, both in the executive and
legislative branches.
