I'm still on team Approval Voting and Proportional Approval Voting.

[–] logi@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm on team anything but FPTP. The sane voting vote is split!

[–] Liz@midwest.social 1 points 8 months ago

Oh no! Let's vote on which voting system to use to vote on which voting system to use. That way our vote about voting won't have vote splitting!

[–] FractalsInfinite@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Technically Condorcet method voting is the fairest and least vulnerable to manipulation, but as long as the system works better then FPTP (such as with bonda count) I would be fine with it.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Condorcet is not either of those things but it’s better than some. V321 or STAR outperform all other voting methods by large margins, especially with resistance to strategic voting and manipulation. https://electionscience.github.io/vse-sim/

[–] FractalsInfinite@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Quite an interesting resource. While I can not determine how accurate the simulation is to reality, it appears that the methods you outline are in fact 5% better at dealing with situations with high strategic voting.

[–] tyler@programming.dev 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yep, there’s actually another good resource that shows why it’s the case and why IRV is quite terrible (barely better than plurality). I’ll try to find it
