non-transferable voting is defective
The reason to believe non-transferable voting is defective comes from HG
Wells, and I fully agree with it. It seems someone here doesn't.
Paraphrasing, Wells said, whenever the simple and obvious method of a
single non-transferable vote is used, elections divide into two
antagonistic factions, describing modern Anglo-American politics
perfectly, and also, for that matter, the party-list world, which
generally forms two coalitions of left versus right, from a leading
party list with some 20% or 30+% of the votes.
The voting systems of the world are a politicians-made anarchic
self-seeking shambles.

Richard Lung.

truth.” "
I've just given you an answer, which you have not answered.
Please do not be impertinent. It is only avoiding the issue of election
method, of which you are accusing others.
Regards,
Richard Lung.

That doesn’t mean some methods are “true” and others aren’t, as you said on
April 3. Some methods might be better, but that’s entirely different.
