Can you please expand a bit on the meaning and relevance of your
profound observation?<br>
<br>
What is your working definition of a "points system"??? (I can
perhaps guess from your reference to the Borda method.)<br>
<br>
How is your reference to some variants of the multi-winner?? Single
Transferable Vote algorithm relevant to the discussion of a
single-winner method?<br>

<div>Chris, I like it especially the part about naive voters

<div>From your experience in Australia where full rankings are
required (as I understand it) what do you think about the
practicality of rating on a scale of zero to 99, as compared
with ranking a long list of candidates??? Is it a big
obstacle?<br>
