Please allow the Voting Reform Commission a chance to continue their research.  If they don't already intend to consider your proposal, you can recommend that they do by saying so in this thread.

No, listen, all these voting systems being proposed have one major flaw:

They are too complicated.

It is quite clear that the problem we are having is that the current system we use is too damn complicated for everyone to easily count.  This is why we end up with people declaring different people winners.  If there is to be any reform, it needs to be so simple that a member can sit down with a pen and paper and simply tally the votes in a matter of a few minutes.

I couldn't agree more.  I'm more than happy to see what the Voting Reform Commission concludes, but I plan to fight any attempts to introduce systems that are too complicated.
