What is the most ideal voting system ?

Question

In my opinion its first past the post but im more interested in your opinion?

Answer 1

The Hare Single Transferable Vote system allows you to rank your choices. If no candidate receives a majority, the bottom vote getter is eliminated and his votes are redistributed to those voter's second choice, and so on, until someone has an absolute majority. This is fairer than first past the post, in that it insures that the winner has at least reasonable support from a majority of the district or constituency.

Also, under this system, if you despise a candidate, you need not rank her at all, and thus make sure she never gets your vote.

Answer 2

This is a question that has done 'the rounds of the kitchen' on many occasions.
At my age, having seen the way the current system is, I believe we have now seen so much to and fro Politics, it might just be an opportunity to change.
Change?
Yes. Though I have no leanings to any particular Party, the idea of Proportional Representation seems to present a radical alternative. Picture it. In the House of Commons we have Government Party, Official Opposition Party and Cross Benchers.
What if the situation was an amalgum of all the best brains?
Could be called a Coalition Party (nothing new) we had one in Wartime.
If it is the consensus that the current style is outdated, why not try the new ground?
I have never voted Liberal Democrat, so please don't label me!

Answer 3

i like runoffs. they diminish the power and influence of mega-political parties and enhance the need for strong and capable politicians.

in a runoff system, several parties and several candidates all participate in a general election. so you might have a dozen people running for the presidency on a dozen platforms. a bicameral dictatorship (ie democrats/republicans) is unlikely.

after all the votes are in for all the candidates, the two leading candidates with the most votes (likely less than 20% of the total votes each) square off in a runoff. another vote is held, but this time you must decide between one of the two candidates narrowed down from the larger pool.

Answer 4

The process of ilimination. First anyone can stand, then the 5 with the most votes goes on to the next stage, then down to 3 and then l. Also everyone must vote or be fined.

Answer 6

Scantron-style, paper ballot.

Like a standardized test, #2 pencil. Fill in the blank beside your candidate of choice.

Computers can scan them easily. If there's a problem, recounts are easy.

Why hasn't the entire nation adopted this system? It makes no sense.

Answer 7

voting in a so called , increasingly ironically titled 'representative democracy' is overrated -it's a system in which the largest minority get in - direct democracy is the best system - based on the Swiss model -in fact it's the only way to tackle the NWO.

Answer 8

Since it is 2007, I would say the use of a computer voting system.

Answer 9

there is no point in voting, cause democracy as an concept is a ******* joke, just because there are 50 idiots it doesn't mean 49 intellectuals dont count. the whole idea is a joke

Answer 10

Put everyone in a room, ten people at a time, and have a "raised hand" vote.

No matter what system you pick, liberals will claim they were cheated in any election they lose...even if they were the ones counting the hands in the system mentioned above.
