The same way other nations do?
- foofie 3y agoIt's vital that a democratic nation fully understands the method they use to elect representatives. People need to understand how their vote maps to a preference, and how their votes are tallied to determine who wins and who doesn't. If a significant share of the electorate does not understand the vote tallying process and expects an outcome different from the one that actually resulted from counting the votes, you will get accusations of vote fraud and election tampering.
- flir 3y agoSeems like you've already got that problem with FPTP. (What I'm getting at is that the problem's not the voting system, it's something else).
