<p class="MsoNormal"><span

Bold"">The
academic paradox of election methods.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Rounded MT
Bold"">The
widespread assertion that there is no such thing as right and
wrong, in
election methods, is a paradox. If this statement were right,
it would
contradict itself, and is therefore wrong. If this statement
were wrong, it
would still contradict itself, and therefore be right: in
other words, it is
right to say this assertion is wrong.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Rounded MT
Bold"">Over
half a century of academic apology, for the world anarchy of
election methods,
is a paradox.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Rounded MT
Bold""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Rounded MT
Bold"">This
academic paradox complements the political paradox of electing
an election
system by referendum.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Rounded MT
Bold"">Without
knowing the right election method for electing an election,
there is no way of
knowing how to elect it. If you do know, the election of an
election is
superfluous. This supports HG Wells awareness that voting
method is not a
matter of opinion but of demonstration.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Rounded MT
Bold"">A
combination of the two paradoxes was previously stated as
follows:<br>
<br>
If there is no true election method, then no election method
can truly choose
an election method.<br>
If there is a true election method, then, the truth being one,
there is no
choice of true election methods.</span></p>
