<div>Approval voting was used in the French presidential election, first round, where far-right nationalist Le Pen got to the second round.</div>
<div>Le Pen was hardly a centrist.</div>
<div>See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approval_voting#Effect_on_elections" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approval_voting#Effect_on_elections</a></div>
<div>Quote:"one study [16] showed that approval voting would not have chosen the same two winners as plurality voting (Chirac and Le Pen) in France's presidential election of 2002 (first round) - it instead would have chosen Chirac and Jospin. To some, this seemed a more reasonable result[citation needed] since Le Pen was a radical who lost to Chirac by an enormous margin in the second round."</div>

<div>I think you're misreading Wikipedia there. Approval was not used; the passage simply says that some suggest that if it HAD been used, the results would have been better.<br><br>JQ<br></div></div></blockquote></div>
