Adam--
<p>I am pleased EM list discussions moved toward multiple-winners election,
<br>some of the last mails were of a very low level my 3 years old daughter
<br>cannot match...
<p>I have tried to invent a system that would permit voters to build the
list
<br>using results from their ballots. It is explained at:
<br><A HREF="http://www.fairvotecanada.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?topic=8&forum=1&3">http://www.fairvotecanada.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?topic=8&forum=1&3</A>
<br>(fourth post is in english).
<br>the three first components should produce the desired effect...
<br>One of the goals is to depolarize the debates by encouraging candidates
to
<br>indicate their rare divergence from the party line. Thus the electorate
would pick
<br>the ones, with the divergence matching their desires. Elected officials
should all be builders of the new party line after the election, and not
scared to vote against the
<br>government if needed to defend the electors view.
<p>It tries to keep FPTP advantages and to solve:
<br>- adversary dirting;
<br>- vote splitting;
<br>- ungarantee for full proportionality;
<br>- low approbation levels;
<br>- debates polarization;
<br>- party line rigidity;
<br>- dealing for votes;
<br>- government stability.
<p>All this and more...
<br>Please anyone you are welcome to comment the overall proposition.
<p>Steph.

<pre>Please elaborate - don't you see it as a problem that the vast majority of
Australian voters essentially vote in a closed party list style? What
would you change to solve this problem?
