Most of the discusssion on this group is about single-winner methods and while
it's important to get things right for elections with single winners, I don't
think I can be alone in thinking that with parliamentary elections, the gap (in
quality) between any half-decent PRÂ method and the "best possible"
single-winner method would be greater than the gap between the best possible
single-winner method and FPTP. I don't know so much about in America or other
places (in terms of how realistic it is), but I certainly think that in the UK,
that is where we should be concentrating. I don't think it's particularly
realistic in the UK anyway, but I think we're probably more likely to get some
form of PR than any of Approval/Range/Condorcet/Majority Judgement - and not
forgetting SODA.
