Open Britain Team is promoting a petition for PR-STV. (But no mention of the Quota Borda System QBS. While FPTP prohibits, and PR-STV allows, QBS actually encourages voters to cast their preferences, to vote across the gender gap, the party divide, and even the sectarian chasm.

A Borda border poll. Sat Aug 3rd, 11 am: a role-play in electronic multi-option decision-making: folks propose options, and then cast their preferences on these options on their mobile phones. A few nano-seconds later, they will see the results. More on deborda.org

'Politics, its Science, and the Prevention of Wars' asianinstituteofresearch.org/_files/ugd/ed8… Majority voting is exclusive... and primitive! In PLURAL democracies, controversies are multi-optional; so voting should be preferential... and inclusive!

Given the king's cares for the environment, will be restrict the guest list for his coronation to those who can attend without flying?

Israel. Is today's extreme right-wing 'majority' democratic? Was the 2017 DUP/Tory govt. democratic? Or the 2010 govt. in the Netherlands with the Freedom Party? Or the Austrian one with theirs in 1999? Would all-party coalitions be better, if only for Covid and Climate Change?

Nigeria, elections. 75% didn't vote for Obi, 71% not for Abubakar, 63% not for Tinubu. So Tinubu wins? Majority rule? It's time for preferential voting and power-sharing!

Is it wise to use such an adversarial and unAfrican electoral system in Nigeria? Why not the original US system: the winner becomes the President; the runner-up is the Vice?

Settlements on West Bank, de-forestation in Amazon, oil drilling in Alaska? In a democracy, nothing should happen if no consensus. Every party/faction may propose an option, debate all, and in 4-6 option ballots, all cast preferences to see which option has the highest average!

Israel's majority of extremists coalition. Is democratic? Bolsonaro, Trump both ruled a majority; was either democratic? Covid, Climate Change advocate real majority rule: all-party coalitions, consensus decisions only: options which get the highest average preference scores.
