For multiple winner electoral methods, one can look at STV
promotional sites.<br>
If you are interested in a more revolutionary method that uses
sampling technics<br>
to obtain equivalent advantages of a huge single STV district
without the huge<br>
number of candidates it implies, look at SPPA. I attach the english
material I used<br>
to present SPPA t o the Mid West Political Science Association at
Chicago in 2007.<br>
Since SPPA does not uses constituencies, it fits better the need to
represent<br>
electronical community of interest, despite their geographical
scattering. It links well<br>
with Youtube for debate diffusion because listeners for a particular
debate are disseminated<br>
throughout the country. <br>

Here's my impression of the tentative results of that discussion:
<div>
<ul>
<li>During that discussion, <a moz-do-not-send="true"

was invented.</li>
<li>There was some discussion of the simplest Condorcet

Copeland//Approval (ranking at any level counts as approval,
most-approved candidate of those with most victories wins)
was the simplest method and overall a pretty good one.</li>
<li>There was also discussion of uniting behind approval as a

statement</a> discussion, still active, grew out of this
discussion.</li>
</ul>
<div>As to resources for educating a non-academic audience... I
think that the consensus statement, linked above, is a pretty
good one. I'd also offer <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.quora.com/Jameson-Quinn/Voting-Systems/answers">my
quora answers about voting systems</a>. And I'd be
interested in helping create such resources. If you could be a
little more specific about audience and format, I'll try to
help.</div>

I recall that some time ago there was a discussion about
finding the best "simple" method and promoting that as a
group. Currently, there are many discussions going on with
regard to political change (Occupy Wall Street movement)
and what would be the most effective ways to make a
difference. Can anyone point me to a wiki page or other
URL that would be instructive for a non-academic audience?<br>
<br>
