- akvadrako 9y agoWould you trust a voting system you don't understand? More people think they understand the current system then a new more complex one.
- ThomPete 9y agoThats a different discussion. The claim was the complexity alone was the issue which its clearly not. A much bigger issue is the change itself. Even if we did a simpler system that everybody understood it would be hard to convince people to switch to it.
- Shish2k 9y agoIt doesn't matter how many people understand it, but how many people think they understand it - from what I've seen, a lot of people think they understand the US system (at least they did, until Trump won with a minority of votes :P )
- ThomPete 9y agoI don't think you have anything that backs up whether most people think they understand the US system. And even if they did they would agree it was complex (which was the claim I was responding to) It's the change that make it hard to implement and it's not just in politics but in most things humans are involved with. We accept what is as the norm because we grew up with it.
