Mostly I agree with what Kristofer says. Where I don't agree, I still think that Kristofer is a living example of why there are both principled and pragmatic reasons why "everyone shut up and support my method" won't work; or at least won't work today, not until we start out by broadening consensus and deepening trust with honest agreement like the Statement.
One pet peeve I can't let pass, though: Yes. If I'm a Green voter, IRV is the Democrat party: Please: both grammar and most party-members would tell you it's the Democratic party. The name "Democrat party" is essentially a puerile provocation invented by Fox News. Jameson Quinn
