Yeah, if the choice is between lists and trees, then trees would be better. This is especially true if the candidates rather than the party get to control how the trees are setup. I wonder would parties assign some candidates to what are considered 'safe nodes' on the tree, in much the same way that they assign them to safe seats under plurality. ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
