I have, if you are nice it goes fine

I'm only saying this because the vote failed everywhere, clearly it's a strategy problem.

If you ask anyone on the street if they would want more moderates and parties in office, a large majority would agree, so if that's the goal, the question is, how do we get there. Ranked choice is great, but it's not optimal in either how the tallying determines a winner, or in convincing people this is better. Approval voting is clearly easier to explain and probably convince people it's better. So now that the vote has failed, we should reassess our strategy from ranked choice to approval voting.

Absolutely agree. It's so much less frustrating too

This is just one step away from automatic pattern of life for everyone in populated areas of the UK. Cops will be able to pull up your favorite coffee shop and your best friend's house at any moment.

This is how you get people into positions where they can be blackmailed

We should be pushing approval voting instead, the educational barrier is way lower and both RC and approval are a load better than FPTP.

I think we should start pushing approval voting instead of ranked choice. Ranked choice is easy to explain how to vote but a little complex to explain how the vote is tallied and that's what people find confusing.

Approval voting is straight forward and easy to explain, whoever gets the most approvals wins.

They both are much better than what we have.

It is really not easy to just replace commanders

There will certainly be commanders who resist if they think it's unlawful. We may just need to wait to really see. I hope there will be resistance.
