<div>Please do not be impertinent. It

The reason to believe non-transferable voting is defective comes
from HG Wells, and I fully agree with it. It seems someone here
doesn't.<br>
<br>
Paraphrasing, Wells said, whenever the simple and obvious method
of a single non-transferable vote is used, elections divide into
two antagonistic factions, describing modern Anglo-American
politics perfectly, and also, for that matter, the party-list
world, which generally forms two coalitions of left versus right,
from a leading party list with some 20% or 30+% of the votes.<br>
<br>
The voting systems of the world are a politicians-made anarchic
self-seeking shambles.<br>
