    I'm curious, have you found anyone who supports the most recent measure but doesn't want to change the underlying system as well?

    So, a politician presents a piece of legislation and is accused of “buying votes”.

    Please, correct my train of thought, but isn’t that exactly what a politician should be doing? Presenting ideas that the populace wants?

    To be fair, a decent engineer wouldn't design the entire set of plumbing, male OR female, that way.

    God is not an engineer or a plumber. As evidenced by the fact he finished the job in under a week and didn't once expect anyone to make him a cup of tea.

    In all fairness, I've heard anecdotes of women wondering how men don't shit all over their balls every time they use the toilet. :shrug:


    Also if anyone can tell me how to stop shitting all over my balls, that would be great. :flow:

    He’s not wrong about ballot exhaustion. It may be better than FPTP, but IRV is the third-worst voting method, and ballot exhaustion makes it worse.

    I'm torn, since it enhances the power of fringe groups to support mainstream candidates that pander to them, but at the same time at least a majority of voters don't end up with someone that's at the very bottom of their list.

    Too many times where I live the sole right-wing candidate has won with only 40% of the vote because the two lefties with a 59% share overall would rather both lose than see another leftist that shares 99% of their platform win. :jayzus:

    Sure, but you can also think of FPTP as a single-rank case of IRV. Consider: say there’s 5 candidates on one side, 1 on the other, and only 3 ranks to fill. That pretty much guarantees a win for the one candidate without strong coordination between the 5 candidates. That’s no different from FPTP, even if 60% (and you can make a pathological case for 80%) of the voters prefer one of the 5.
