Please excuse me, Dan, but here is a conceptual mistake in your message: On Wed, Sep 7, 2016 at 3:20 PM, Dan Krimm <[log in to unmask]> wrote: [...] > One issue about STV (also known as IRV in the US -- instant runoff vote, > which is one way to tabulate such ballots but not the only one) is that it > is designed for single-seat races.

There is where NotA effect became distorsive, as a number of us have pointed out. More generally, we should try to come out with an election system that is a) simple, b) reasonably fair and c) non paradoxical. That would be good enough. Please count me into the 'election systems SG' if it's formed. Regards, Enrique
