By providing them with a voting system which allows them to express their preferences adequately so that they don't _have_ to lie, if they want their true preferences to be considered fairly. Most other voting systems simply can't do that. This whole discussion tells me that the original proposal (with Manoj's s/quorum/.../ change, for consistency) should be up to that task. Why, is that a trick question? ;-) -- Matthias Urlichs | {M:U} IT Design @ m-u-it.de | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Disclaimer: The quote was selected randomly.
