While I thought some of the articles gave better examples of moving to plurality with elimination, others did not. I really do agree with moving to that system because it encourages 3rd parties to try harder so we aren't always stuck with democrats or republicans. I think it also means that they can't completely ignore the other half of the voting spectrum. It forces them to be more approaching to opposite voters and try and convince them. Really I still think the best part is trying 3rd parties and having them actually effect the elections.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading a few of the articles, it made me realize that because of this method if plurality and plurality of elimination, these two could make ale a big difference in results. To me plurality is just as voting is now.
ReplyDeleteBeing said that , plurality with elimination will and is able to change the ending of the election . I personally believe that this method would fail everytime.
DeleteI like the idea of using ranked voting in elections. But i think its more beneficial on small scale elections.
