I was thinking about voting systems earlier: has there been research into a system where the probability of a decision being made is a monotonic function of its votes?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_ballot is just this but with the function being the identity, but I wonder if others have been explored.

Interesting article/interview with Zoë Garbett, Green Party’s London mayoral candidate. Looks at national as well as London based #ukpolitics

@ForfarFairLady @IndyRichard @Funwithphotos it is compulsory & you get fined if you don’t turn up. Spoiling your ballot is however allowed. But it’s pretty much always been like that. No idea how it would go if you tried to introduce it in UK now. Guessing an uproar about authoritarianism, democracy etc

Might be more productive to get big registration drives underway
