No criterion for evaluating voting systems appears more persuasive than that by the Marquis de Condorcet. The best chance for that is in a system which tends toward political moderation with centrally- balanced polices. Voting is sometimes accused of polarizing electorates. If many voters feel they are placing chips in opposition to other voters, then the community does indeed have a problem. Good rules cannot heal social rifts by themselves, but accurately showing all opinions can move the process forward.
Bad rules exacerbate real and contrived conflicts.
Yes-no ballots and plurality rules count chips placed in direct opposition. The rules explained in this e-book do not, so they do not encourage that way of thinking. These rules may change our fundamental concepts and expectations of voting and government from tools of cultural war between interest groups to tools giving structural support to diversity and its freedoms.
