Method support poll: Difference between revisions

Support: [[cardinal pairwise]] with [[beatpath]], [[ranked pairs]], [[river]], or [[sequential dropping]], [[CWP|AWP]], [[Candidate withdrawal option|CWO-IRV]], [[ER-IRV|ER-IRV(whole)]], [[Approval voting]], [[ER-IRV|ER-IRV(fractional)]], [[IRV]]

Close to supporting: [[DMC]], [[CDTT|CDTT, IRV]], [[Smith//minimax]]

Oppose: [[Borda count]]

Close to opposing: [[Minimax|minmax]], [[MMPO]], [[Bucklin]], [[Descending Acquiescing Coalitions]]

''In general I prefer methods without [[favorite betrayal]] incentive. I insist on [[Minimal Defense criterion|minimal defense]] or something similar.''

Support: [[ICA]], [[Approval voting]]

Close to supporting: [[Schulze method|Schulze]], Tideman, or River (using winning votes or possibly [[cardinal pairwise|AWP]]), [[ER-Bucklin]](whole), [[MAMPO]]

Support for legislatures only: [[CDTT]]-[[Later-no-harm criterion|Later-no-harm]] combination methods

Oppose: [[plurality voting|plurality]], [[IRV]], [[ER-IRV]], margins, [[Borda count|Borda]], [[DSC]], rating ballots

Support:

*[[Condorcet Criterion|Condorcet]]: best for contentious elections if burying threat considered not too bad

*[[Minmax|Minmax(margins)]]: my default reference point, good utility function, strategy resistance maybe not that bad

*Path based ([[Schulze method|Schulze]] etc.) and winning votes: ok but lots of work for small improvements/changes (that are not all positive)

*Pairwise comparison methods enhanced with additional approval or rating information: ok as well if not too complex for the voters

*[[Approval voting|Approval]]: clean method and at least some improvement to the commonly user methods

*Best [[IRV]] methods (if pairwise comparison based methods are out of question)

Close to supporting: [[Runoff voting|Two round system]] (not that bad for multiparty countries)

Not supporting: Rating based methods (maybe not feasible for contentious elections like the government official elections of this query, but good for non-contentious elections)

Oppose:

*[[plurality voting|Plurality]] (except that it is ok for two party countries IF they want to stay that way)

*Regional winner gets all votes of that region

*[[Borda count|Borda]] and many other ("more heuristic") methods

Support [[CPO-STV]], [[single transferable vote]]

Close to opposing: [[Cumulative voting]], [[limited voting]], [[SNTV]]

Support open party list (approval component), closed party list, possibly a proportional approval scheme

Support:

*Open party list enhanced with hierarchical structure

*[[Open list|Open party list]]

*[[STV]] (non-party-based votes are both good and bad)

*Regional representation (various styles to complement other methods)

Close to supporting: [[Closed list|Closed party list]], [[CPO-STV]] (complexity problems)

Not supporting: Two party methods (ok if kept intentionally, not just because of fear of changes or to stay in power)
