My post is unbiased and is purely for informational purposes. It does not try to say one system is better than the other, it merely explains the mechanics of AV to try to help people make a more informed decision. As you will notice from the overall content of this blog, I have tried where possible to remain unbiased and keep my content purely informational. Whilst there have been cases that I appear to have endorsed a product, service or candidate, it has been mainly because using them I can provide the best examples of use. <br />I did however take the time to read the linked post. The arguments in the post are biased and logically flawed. Whilst I agree with the point that AV is indeed more complicated that FPTP, it is not overly complicated once you have reach an analogy that works for you. This is the process I undertook as I initially had difficulty getting to grips with it myself. <br />In the example vote we did the candidate that was in second place after round one won overall. The explanations for this are clear in the post, as were more people that disliked the first place candidate than the second place. What we proved is you get the least unpopular candidate, rather than the most popular. We also proved that AV does respect One Person, One Vote.<br />Now, I'll move on to why your example is flawed. The votes you gave would (as you stated) result in a three way tie. In an election with only three voters there are only two possible outcomes, and it is mathematically provable that the second preference vote will not be used. The two outcomes are either a clear majority, or a three way tie. In the event of a tie, one of many tiebreaking rules can be used. This can be random selection, drawing straws, or forming a coalition. <br />Let’s compare that to FPTP. If we took three voters, there are two possible outcomes. These two outcomes are either a clear majority, or a three way tie. In the event of a tie, one of many tie breaking rules can be used. This can be random selection, drawing straws, or forming a coalition.<br />Therefore in the example you gave, both FPTP and AV would have had exactly the same outcome. <br />The final flaw in you example is that you inferred that voters are able to change their preference after the vote has been cast. This is not true, once the ballot has closed all votes are sealed, and therefore Voter 3 has no agenda-setting power whatsoever.<br />The only way this is possible is if all the voters collaborated before casting their vote. This is completely impractical in reality where the number of voters is much larger; it is less likely that the final voter will know what everyone before him has voted.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07608725079327009288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5104712988079673563.post-82439450764072774332011-04-20T12:59:26.105-07:002011-04-20T12:59:26.105-07:00Under AV votes are WASTED.
