Line 5:
My perspective is about '''''what''''' we are trying to achieve by the process of ''making collective decisions'', '''''why''''' such processes are desirable to begin with, and '''''how''''' different voting systems reflect those goals and principles.
My formal, mathematical approach to voting system analysis is based on <math>N</math>-dimensional (with <math>N \ge 4</math>), ''absolute'' political opinion spaces and multidimensional population distributions, and all voters have inherently fuzzy opinions and utilities. To me, candidates, parties and voting systems are merely ''means to an end'', so without having a clear notion of ''what the end is'', we cannot hope to find the ''best means''.
This perspective of mine underlies most of the content I post here.
