Remember: it always has a positive effect to vote TRS - far from no effect!
It means that if one more person voted for TRS it would not change the result of course if 2 more voted than that probably would make a difference. Only really relevant when voting closes.
Just left in to put people off if other words?
NO It is actually to show the anomalies of this voting system look up for example the Alabama paradox. It also changes depending on how the votes are distributed. You need to look at the projected safely elected to see when voting of a particular party would be pointless
Someone voting their party of choice is never pointless. Even if all the candidates would be elected voters should still choose their preference party because it can still increase their % share which will be reflected in who is elected.
Every vote is a positive vote. That's called democracy. it's even democratic to abstain if you have to, but I don't advocate that.
On this rare occasion I heavily agree with JRCS
.. which means I also heavily agree with you, AMD. Whatever next? 🤣
Aye Keith's propaganda isn't as subtle as he thinks it is!!
Hare Quota is only relevant in an STV PR system. This is not that.
THIS in ERep is just straight PR - straight percentage of the whole.
Stop trying to mislead people.
Sorry , but you don't seem to know anything about voting systems. STV uses the droop quota. No system of STV in use uses the Hare quota. There is no 'straight PR'. Erep uses the Hare quota with greatest remainder. The hare quota is total votes divided by seats. In this case divide by 40. any seats not allocated are given to the parties with the largest remainder. The other main type of list systems are the divisor systems which include the D'Hondt or the Sainte Lague systems which most European countries use. The United States uses the harmonic divisor system, It abandoned the Hare quota system when they increased the number of seats in the House of Representatives and Alabama lost a seat!
"The Hare quota can be used in the single transferable vote (STV-Hare) system"
Straight out of the wikipedia article on Hare Quota system.
Take your BS elsewhere sir!
It can be used. True but who uses the Hare quota now? I said "No system of STV in use uses the Hare quota" take your pig ignorance elsewhere. Don't accuse my of trying to mislead people when I am trying to educate them about voting systems. Using the Hare quota in STV is a mistake.
Keith you seem very angry. I don't think it reflects very well on you to be calling people ignorant based on your very careful and precise wording. That's not what effective and rational discourse looks like. Artela has corrected you so just take it on the chin and move on
~Mr Woldy I am increasingly annoyed with your petty and ignorant posting. Artelas accused me of trying to mislead people when In fact I was posting the truth. This was not a correction. I am not taking this on the chin. Stop being a jerk.
I think people should be encouraged to vote, not told that their vote will have no effect. Simple. Artela and others have picked up on things in your article which are not clear. I don't know why you single her out. Either way, you should work on ensuring you words cannot be misunderstood, and then I'm sure people will find less of your article misleading.
I makes me angry when I get accused of bias when
i am just presenting the facts. I get accused of lying and bullshit by someone who clearly knows nothing about the subject. I get the feeling that if I was a Spam member then I would be getting nothing but praise however crap the article was. If it was a genuine query then I would have responded differently
Listen to Mr. Underpants. He's an expert at waffly bull. He'll probably tell people to stop voting for TRS because it won't affect the result soon 😉
@Mad Poorly take you dumb insults elsewhere. I am not saying that and I think that is unlikely to happen
Only Keith may insult people in the comments of Keith's paper!
I'm feeling significantly better now, thanks, Keith. You do understand sarcasm, I take it, or does that go completely over your head?
[removed]
I do wish people would stop trying to "needle" each other. In Keith's case he puts a lot of work into keeping us all informed about things we may not otherwise hear about.
As regards these election reports, I find them extremely useful and I did so even before I joined TUP. They're not bs and they're not "waffly". They simply inform.
This would be true if not for the editorialized portions of the articles.
The facts' parts I like, the editorials I think are just sub-par trolling.
None of it is editorialising
You stating "what would happen if..." is an editorial
The spreadsheet writes it not me.
Editorialising would be "this is a great/ terrible result or sadly/happily XXX did/did not get elected/defeated"
The what if bit is purely factual and gives an insight into how the voting system works. The parties affected and the analysis changes throughout the day and when the results are being verified gives an idea about what might happen if voters were disallowed. Last month it correctly showed what would happen if a SPam vote was ruled out and one was!
If you have any ideas about how the data should be presented I would be happy to consider it
Odd that my name isn't included in the Safe, but people lower than me on the list are.
theres 11 names on the safe list and your 12th in the listing
You are 12th on the list only the first 11 are safe. This assumes that Spam gets no further votes which is unlikely.
Also, pax isn't running.
Ah you changed it to this: --- Who would be elected?
The Real Spamicans ................ AmazingBob,Kenny Stowton,Sambo223,Mr Woldy,Artela,Addaway,Betafoxtrot,Mr Immanuel Kant,Rory Winterbourne II,AMD.,Darkmantle,Judas H Christ,Madacaion,Spygon,Paul Tyndale,Honoka1999
yes its updated often through out the day
But pax want running at all this month
I think he may have copy and pasted last months
Yes for a couple of minutes
Easy mistake tbf and seems corrected now
Whatever, according to the latest above it seems right now that the safest way to keep the most goats out is to vote for spamicans LOL
What's wrong with the goats other than Ajay Bruno's willy?
And his other Willy
Only one is his.
How do you know that?
Man Friday has been one of the best Congress Members this term. Very sad to see him so far down TUP's list would be a great loss to Congress if he's not elected.
It's clear to me that this latest "spat" was triggered by the concluding statement made by Artela to Keith when she said "Stop trying to mislead people.".
That is an unfounded accusation and would inflame many people. Keith may be excused for being angered by that. His motive in publishing this account of the election is to inform NOT mislead.
So just let's all move on now.
Keith is famous for his selective highlighting of data points. Too much transparent bias editorialising to be taken at face value. He ignores feedback and comments about it because he knows he's doing it
I do not ignore feed back, but I wish I could ignore trolls like you! What editorialising?
Your editorialising usually takes the form of 'voting x party is useless' or even placing 'don't vote Y as it gets no seats' in the subject line/elsewhere. All opinions as the data cannot dictate who people vote for
