Hi all, have you ever heard about Majority Judgment as a voting system?

Here a detailled article with benefits and where it was used: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10602-022-09385-7

Here a software to try it: https://app.mieuxvoter.fr/en

I see it well also if embededd in the MMP system (MMP+MJ) to improve MMP+FPTP that is being used in Germany and New Zealand.

Electoral reform: the case for majority judgment - Constitutional Political Economy

The majority judgment (MJ) voting method works well in theory and in practice. Not only does MJ avoid the classical Condorcet and Arrow paradoxes, but it also overcomes the domination paradox, from which paired comparisons by majority rule, approval voting, and all Condorcet consistent methods suffer. This article also shows why MJ best reduces the impact of strategic manipulation and minimizes ties to the extreme. The article illustrates the resistance of MJ to manipulations in a real example, discusses other salient properties of MJ, and summarizes several recent applications that show MJ to be, despite its newness, the right basis of electoral reform.

Our #voting system is broken. Even if all citizens could easily #vote (without the Right's many #VoterSuppression tactics) and meaningfully choose their representatives rather than vice versa (#gerrymandering), there's another fundamental problem:

We're required to choose JUST ONE candidate, and don't get to put anything on the ballot about how great or terrible the others are.

(Much better: #RangeVoting a.k.a. #ScoreVoting. You give every candidate a rating. Highest average wins.

More expressive than ranked choice / IRV; more incentive to vote honestly.)

In our current broken system, anything other than voting for the #Democratic ticket is effectively a vote for the #Republican menace.

@evantd Good idea in principle, but there are even better (and simpler) voting systems than IRV/STV that may have better chances of getting implemented in the short term, e.g., #ApprovalVoting, which could later be advanced to #ScoreVoting (aka #RangeVoting). If one wants to protect #minorities from being ignored completely by a #majority, then of course something even more advanced is needed...

My talks on post-consensus, cooperative decision-making were well received in Scotland ๐Ÿ˜€ Thanks to those who promoted and came.

I'm glad to be talking again in #London ๐Ÿ’‚ on the 16th Aug at #Newspeak house https://douginamug.gitlab.io/posts/2018-06-15_coopdecisionsevent/

I will explore why #scoreVoting is a cooperative practice when #consensus can't be reached. Please come or forward to anyone you think might be interested ๐Ÿ’™

Post-consensus, cooperative decision-making

Talks on the philosophy, theory and practice of making cooperative decisions when consensus is not possible.

Hello! Next week I will be talking in #Edinburgh (and the week after in #Glasgow) about post-consensus, cooperative decision-making ๐Ÿ˜€

I will explore why #scoreVoting is a cooperative practice when #consensus can't be reached

Please come if you can or forward to anyone in central #Scotland you think might be interested ๐Ÿ˜—

In a couple of weeks I will be talking in #Edinburgh and #Glasgow about post-consensus, cooperative decision-making ๐Ÿ˜€

I will be looking into why #scoreVoting is a more cooperative practice than #consensus after a group goes past a certain stage and how to do it.

Please forward to anyone people in #Scotland you think might be interested.

@mattcropp yes I saw that too... Didn't thrill me unfortunately! I've yet to see any compelling reason to use rcv over #scorevoting, especially in groups where there is a degree of trust. I chatted with them about this and there was some positive response, Rcv was developed for commission. You asked me for a primer on this ages ago, I'm still plodding along with that whilst setting up a common/coop house, but you can experience the basic setup through https://ukuvota.world/#/ (Cheers @wolfi )

Ever been in a meeting where everyone agrees to do something, but then there is a super-long debate about which time it should happen? It kills me every time...

We tried out a basic, hand-written poll which made deciding a time way quicker and kept the meeting running. I whipped up a printable one too: https://nc.matthias-larisch.de/s/2Vf4MasWbREJe5u
