=== "Sounds too much like a parliamentary system, which has caused problems in [Italy / Israel / wherever]"? No, SODA still leaves "buck stops here" responsibility. ===
 
SODA does involve some parliamentary-style negotiation for about a weekshort period after each election. But then it's done, and the winner is in power until the next election. Unstable parliamentary countries, or ones where minority parties have inordinate power, are that way because minority parties can leave the governing coalition at any timewill. SODA does not have that problem; in many ways, it's really the best of both worlds between a 3-branch system and a parliamentary system.
 
=== "Why go to the trouble of pre-announced rankings and a second round? Why not just have candidates pre-announce the approvals they will add to their delegated votes?" Because the best compromise is only clear after the votes are tallied. ===
