  1. This week I have learned that Malta and Ireland are both using the Single Transferable Vote method in national elections. I knew that e.g. Northern Ireland are doing it, but I was only aware of Australia doing it at the sovereign level.

  6. CW: American politics and how not do democracy

    It seems "The 2026 midterms are officially underway" (politico.com/newsletters/the-r)

    The US' political system is exhausting. And their permanent campaigning caused by the election cycle is counterproductive to the goals of a representative democracy, since at any given time, at least half of the elected representatives are focused on short-term goals.

  11. reincarnation of the 1940's #US #Fascist party (#AmericaFirst) did, in contrast, win the congressional majorities (Senate: 53/47, House: 220/2015.)

    ballotpedia.org/Election_resul

    This was enabled by a dualistic, unfairer #ElectoralSystem, the #US' #WinnerTakeAll system.
    In contrast to a variant of the puralistic, fairer system of #ProportionalRepresentation.

    Here is a comparison to the US system of #WinnerTakeAll (or #FirstPastThePost in the #UK:)

  16. Arguably, two of the most democratic and least corrupted electoral systems in the anglosphere are Australia and New Zealand.
    Both parliamentary democracies, Australia has preferential voting that is compulsory for all citizens; New Zealand with mixed member voting (ie 1 vote for party & 1 vote for electorate MP) and with routinely 75% plus of the electorate voting.

  21. @paige @scarpentier Quiconque s'organise pour tuer le vote uninominal à un tour doit étudier la défaite du BC-STV en 2005 (just saying). Malheureusement, comme disait Reagan, "If you have to explain it, you loose." À moins d'avoir le support des medias ET de la classe politique.

  26. The #GOP #Scheme That Could Bring Our #ElectoralSystem to Its Knees

    An #underappreciated part of the Trump #attack on #democracy: #mass #voterchallenges. A “mass voter challenge” involves individual voters calling into question the eligibility of hundreds or thousands of voters all at once. #Frivolous mass voter challenges picked up after the 2020 #election and the viral spread of #TheBigLie
