>1) Double politicians (or leftover politicians). Most of English speaking world has left over votes with no representative, have politicians elected with leftover votes. These are paid positions with no power.
I don't understand what you are proposing here. I think there is a point about constituencies, but I do not parse your logic. What do you refer to by leftover votes?
- Joakal 7y agoEssentially, second place in same constituencies. The rationale is that people voted to be represented. When the 1st place candidate wins, they have no more incentive to represent the 'losers'.
- cartoonworld 7y agoOk thanks, I know that generally as Ranked Preference Voting and the more specific proposal of IRV Instant Runoff Voting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting Do you have any more info about this type of voting? I would always be interested in reading more analysis of this topic.
- Joakal 7y agoThere's no second place winner for IRV, FPTP, etc. That's where my proposal comes in as a stop gap measure to cover lack of representation while increasing journalism potential. For better proportional representation, here's this topic: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_representation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_representation
