One thing I thought of too late to put it into the poll (I can't change it now, as there are already 4 votes) - we should also agree on an anti-brand for Plurality. <div><br></div><div>Plurality</div><div>First Past the Post (FPTP)</div>

It's honest, without that slight hint of naming-bias which might taint the last suggestion. I honestly think that if we all started using "One Vote, Lesser Evil (OVLE)", it could catch on.)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Do people think it's worth making another poll for this?</div><div><br></div><div>JQ</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/8/29 Jameson Quinn <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jameson.quinn@gmail.com">jameson.quinn@gmail.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">IRV activists have done a good job "branding" their system. Although the system was previously known as Hare voting, for its inventor, they chose a short, descriptive name - IRV - and used it systematically to promote the system. This is a crucial step for effective activism.<div>
<br></div><div>I've created <a href="http://betterpolls.com/do/1189" target="_blank">a poll for naming/branding four systems</a> - Condorcet (Minimax); Bucklin (2+1 rank, equality-allowed); Range/Score; and IRV (because, although the name "IRV" has been well-accepted, I've also seen a recent proposal to call it "Greatest Majority Voting"). There's also a for-interest-only option to choose your favorite systems overall. It's on <a href="http://betterpolls.com" target="_blank">betterpolls.com</a>, which can score winner via various systems. Write-ins are allowed and the polling is open for the month of September; results are closed until then to avoid path-dependent polling bias.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Please vote in the poll and promote it (over email and/or social media). <a href="http://betterpolls.com/do/1189" target="_blank">Vote</a>: you wouldn't want your preferred system to come in last, would you?</div>
<div><br></div><div>I personally commit to abide by any naming decisions of the poll (by Range, known as "raw ratings summation" there on betterpolls), as long as there are at least 25 votes and no clearly-superior write-ins (to be confirmed, as necessary, in a later re-poll). I'd also help get relevant URLs based on poll decisions.</div>
