<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Rounded MT Bold"">This
poll, I gather from the unfamiliar sounding names, is of
single-member systems.
But there need not be two classes of election systems,
single-member and multi-member.
There are not two truths of electoral system. There is (one
truth) general
electoral system</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Rounded MT Bold"">It
has been believed that the lack of proportional representation
in
single-member systems set them apart. But this is not
necessarily the case. It
is possible to have a general election system that works the
same way for
single-member systems as multi-member systems. Indeed (pardon
me) I have
invented it! The way it is done is to hold both an election
count and an
exclusion count, based on keep values, and average them, whether
in a single or
multi-member system.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Rounded MT Bold"">This
redeems single-member systems for a rational count, as in
multi-member systems.
Without this, single-member systems, unlike multi-member
systems, are stuck at
a sub-rational level of accuracy, and are basically (“last past
the post”)
elimination counts.</span></p>

Have the nominations closed? Not that I want to nominate another
method.
<br>
<br>
There has been very little electioneering, with I think most of
the nominated methods not even being mentioned.
<br>
<br>
Some haven't even been explained let alone discussed or promoted.
<br>
<br>
When does voting close?
