Voting System w/ Sheena

So I had my crit with Sheena today about the voting system. It was good to have a general discussion about the project, but unfortunately a lot of the talk ended up being about domestic party politics. This is somewhat unsurprizing and I don’t make it any better as I am always happy to talk about that, but this project is not about that.

This is a clearly political project, but it is not about domestic politics. I want the voting system be to about the use of one kind of democracy in certain groups. I know that there are a great many arguements to make and have about voting systems, I am aware of these and accept them as part of democracy in action; all people have different views. However I want to make a system to benifit those who know these arguements and want to use an AV voting system to find a consensus decision with one answer from many options.

I looked at the Campaign for Electoral Reform website only just before I went to see Sheena; I should probably have looked earlier.
