That is much better than systems which force you to use proxies, or which offer plurality as a fallback (because plurality can never be an even-playing-field replacement for delegation, whereas approval can). Basically, you should reply to such people: if you don't like delegation, that's your choice; others do, and that's their choice. Opposing SODA because you don't like proxies is like opposing the internet because you don't like lolcats. > > Of course it doesn't hurt to ask people, but I didn't have much success with > such methods in > > the past. > > Mike Ossipoff > > > > ---- > Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info > >
