Right, but in the parliamentary system you also end up with parties like the Greens. They are not fiscally liberal, even though socially they are. Many people would rank them differently depending on their own values. Given the possibility of votes "counting" more in Canada, other Green-like parties may evolve, since now people may actually vote for them and have it matter.
Also, interesting point about averages and ranked voting. By the values, Strawberry would have won out, however as stated in the video, a majority does prefer chocolate to strawberry—so how would that be dealt with?
I look forward to the discussions around our [Canada's] new electoral/voting system this December.
- achr2 10y agoPersonally I would be very happy if Canada's parliament realizes that cooperative minority governance should be the norm and is the healthiest option. I am not sure which part of the video you were looking at where Strawberry would have won, but it seemed by my quick averaging, that the 'right' choice always wins under simple averaging (unless there is a tie which is fine in Canada, not so much in the US).
- xemoka 10y agoI too hope that cooperative minority governance becomes the norm, unfortunately we've been fed for far too long that EU style cooperative governance is "weak" and undesirable. I was referring to where In ranked voting where the paradox was cyclic preferences, Paul mentions that strawberry would win on averages, but yet the majority of voters would have preferred chocolate over strawberry.
