Santa Monica should ditch its plurality at-large council elections and come into compliance with the California Voting Rights Act. But winner-take-all district elections aren't the only possible solution. Proportional #RankedChoiceVoting gives minority groups of all kinds the best opportunity to elect representatives of their choice, avoids spoilers and wasted votes, and ensures the large majority of voters actually get to choose a winner.

@petealexharris This sort of calculation is based on assumptions of how others will vote. It's an anti-democratic insanity of a system, a reminder of why Scotland should adopt #STV.
But on the maths, so long as the SNP wins more constituency seats than the Greens do, d'Hondt means that an SNP list seat needs a lot more voters than Green list seats. This isn't opinion; it's maths.
Why is #CliveLewis?
The #LabourParty MP for Norwich South is a good critic of #neoliberalism, and of public alienation from politics. He is right that proportional representation could open up politics, tho like most English critics of #FPTP he seems unaware of the importance of #STV.
But all he seems to do about it is 3 or 4 articles per year in #TheGuardian and a few TV appearances.
Radical change requires sustained hard work to build movements. Clive isn't that.
Christ, I just learned that the #Senedd have moved to another terrible voting system than before for their elections.
Under the previous system, you could at least vote for different candidates under the FPTP and party list systems.
Now they have D'Hondt, the closed-list, non-preferential system which saw the British National Party fascists elect MEPs by splitting the opposition vote.
#STV was right there, you guys!
