Line 1:
It is important that we not be confused by the false choice that there are only two viewpoints on any issue. This is why it is important that there to be enough candidates in the general election to challenge common wisdom, talking points and the implicit agreement in the two-party duopoly to avoid discussing issues that actually affect us.
Monkey Puzzle
 
Instead of our current ([[First Past the Post electoral system|Single vote]]) system, I would prefer a voting method that does not force one to vote for a compromise based on assumptions of what other voters would do.
Current favorite Condorcet completion method is Tournament Voting (no page yet):
 
I currently favor methods that satisfy the [[Favorite betrayal criterion]], such as [[Approval voting]], [[Relevant rating]], [[Majority judgment]] or [[IBIFA]]. I would also be interested in a Condorcet-style method that satisfies or comes close to satisfying the [[Later-no-help criterion]] in order to discourage burying.
* Ranked or Graded Ballot with approval cutoff, or derive order from Cardinal Ratings.
* Sort candidates in descending order of Total Approval or Cardinal Rating.
* Move a candidate upward while it successively defeats all higher-seeded candidates above it, and only after those candidates have themselves moved upwards as much as possible.
 
I am interested in [[Proportional Representation]] methods that do not use [[Single Transferable Vote]].
The final order is the social ordering.
 
Also known as Approval-seeded Bubble Sort.
 
Equivalent (I think) to Ranked Pairs with defeats ordered according to the total approval (or total Cardinal Rating) of the victor.
 
Also equivalent to successively eliminating least-approved candidates and recalculating the Smith Set until only one candidate remains in the Smith Set.
