If you could design a voting system from scratch - with no
constraints - what would that look like?
Hare-Clark: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare-Clark>.
I'd also play linguistic god and ban use of the terms
'single-transferable vote' and 'instant run-off'. They'd be replaced
with 'Hare-Clark' and 'proportional preferential'.
The first term is in deference to the two people responsible for the
voting system and the second is in deference to the country
(Australia, and more particularly the state of Tasmania within
Australia) that pioneered use of it in actual elections and continues
to use it to this day.
We use this system in real life, I think we should get dibs on naming
the system. ;-)
The other voting system worth looking into is Range voting:
