I was told that I could quote Wells till I was blue in the face.<br>
Wells said there is one right way of doing voting method and any number <br>
of wrong ways with enfeebling complications, fruitful of corruption.<br>

He followed Thomas Hare and John Stuart Mill in his definition: <br>
Proportional Representation with a single transferable vote, in large <br>
constituencies.<br>
