Favourability voting: Difference between revisions

This is an unfinished section for outcomes. I will get back to completing the ballots and also elaborating on each outcome later.
(+ Corrections (August 25 -> August 27), personalization (User:DewyWind -> me), attribution of magical inspiration to my brilliant first cousin for this great idea!)

Line 72:
 
This way, technically speaking voters do not have to open any more "windows" within this than they would with regular score voting, while also at the same time having the opportunity to express more deeply their preference and opinion.

Favourability Voting encompasses all types of different possibilities, whereas with even the most detailed of other alternative voting systems, much of these are ignored. Let’s give an example of a single-winner election. Whereas in regular score voting, a voter who scores a candidate or party 50% could be interpreted as being three entirely different kinds of voters:
 
* Someone who both loves and hates everything in the platform (this can be caused by a conflict in which someone believes that all of these policies will lead to both positive and negative impacts at the same time: "side effects")
 
* Somebody who agrees with half of the platform but disagrees with the other half (for example, if someone is socially conservative and economically left-wing, then combining socially progressive with economically left-wing positions could turn this person into being half in support (on economic issues) and half against them (on social issues)
 
* Or even simply as a person who has neutral opinions (apathetic; doesn’t necessarily approve nor disapprove, just shrugs: some people may know about what a candidate stands for but they just still have no strong opinion about them) on the entirety of the premise
 
So, as you can probably see, these are pretty clearly three different feelings from each other which essentially have little to absolutely nothing in common. Pairwise Favourability Voting, unlike many other systems, is able to understand this and captures these three unique opinions separately: the one who both loves and hates an entity ("love-hate relationship/frenemies") would give it 100% on both approval and disapproval, and those who like half of something but dislike the rest of it ("meh/so-so") go +50% approval and -50% disapproval, whereas an indifferent participant ("whatever/I don't care") would put 0% on both approval and disapproval, and they can also be able to freely express different levels of these conflicting feelings when regarding comparisons, this level of expression allows for a better, more truthful way to sort out our preferences and for providing detailed statistical analysis.
