I don't know so much about in America or other places (in terms of how realistic it is), but I certainly think that in the UK, that is where we should be concentrating. I don't think it's particularly realistic in the UK anyway, but I think we're probably more likely to get some form of PR than any of Approval/Range/Condorcet/Majority Judgement - and not forgetting SODA.<VAR
