What's wrong with our current system? Lots!

  • Minority/Plurality Rule
  • Inevitable, unavoidable trend towards two candidates/voting blocks/parties leading to less choice for voters
  • Huge advantage to incumbents, huge disadvantage to newcomers leading to less choice for voters
  • Strategic/Insincere Voting
  • Encourages and rewards negative campaigning
  • Lots of wasted votes leading to voter cynicism and disengagement
  • Very susceptible to Gerrymandering
  • Spoiler Effect and Vote Splitting
Watch this video for a summary.

In fact, the virtual consensus among those who study voting systems is that First-Past-the-Post, plurality based systems are
THE WORST!

OK! So what can we do?
