Suppose there is no one to >>save us? then what? >> >>DC >>Instant runoff voting or some other preferential voting system would >help avoid "lesser of two evils" voting. I do like your thinking, but I believe there are some issues with it. IMHO... Firstly, the implementation paradox. Neither of the major parties are likely to bring in something to diminish their duopoly as "THE major parties". Hence it seems likely you'd need a minor party/candidate to win in order to get it happening. In other words, to change the system so that a minor candidate can win, a minor candidate has to win. Catch 22. Secondly, we have preferential voting here in Australia, and while I do think it's, well, preferable, it's not some wondrous solution to the faults of democracy. Our federal election is in a month, and a recent poll just showed that the leading party has 47% of the primary vote (ie 47% of Australians are going to choose them as no.1 option). In other words, while we are perfectly able to do otherwise, for some reason the general population votes for the major parties as first preference regardless of the fact that you can, effectively, vote for both the majors as the last two options, and in effect, your vote ends up with one of them and has the same strength as it would have if you'd voted them as no.1 if you get my drift. In some ways it makes things worse. I don't think it's "the problem" as such. The problem, fundamentally, in both the U.S. and here, is that the public think there are only two options and vote accordingly because they don't want some "weirdo" getting in (ironic really). One would suggest that a massive education campaign is required to explain to the common man why this line of thinking is flawed, but who is going to do it? The major parties obviously won't. Nobody reads books (well, not enough). The media? The media would argue, and disappointingly they have a point, that their role is to report the status quo, not alter it. I realize they are far from doing this well in many cases, but they actually do it reasonably in this case. The media would simply say that: (*) It's not our job to enforce deliberate change. (*) The major parties are currently most likely to win. (*) Because the majors will win, we should focus reporting on them. And you and I would say: (*) It's because you focus reporting on them that they win. And they would point out that: (*) Even if we adjusted our reporting, the public is so set in the idea of voting for a major party that most will do so anyhow. (*) The only way to change this mindset would be for the media to deliberately re-educate the public for a decade, perhaps several. At what point are they pushing their ideals, when their role should be to simply report what goes on. See my point? It's an unfortunate collaboration of catch 22's. The only way around it that I can say is to have some amazingly intelligent, charismatic, ethical, and powerful individual take leadership of one of the existing major parties in order to enforce some major changes and help educate the public. Unfortunately I've got other things on at the moment. ;o) Cheers, Kim.I cant get any bandwidth from either server. guess ill have to wait a week for some bandwith. get half way and the server ju
