The fact that only a few people are able to really understand how to count votes in at-large elections tells us everything. At-large elections are intransparent and therefore highly questionable from a democratic point of view. The best solution to this problem, of course, is strengthening the regions and elect all Senators by the regions or half of them by districts.
Lets turn undemocratic process that nobody understands into one that is just as undemocratic but transparent? Ok.

This only proves we are in desperate need of my reform plan - we will have a wonderfully active senate and a completely inactive lower house! Cheesy

^Yes, and a graveyard for the regions. Roll Eyes From the former chairman of the Regional Protection Party, no less.

Sorry, do I sound pissed?

I don't believe FPTP helps the "broad but shallow" categories. Flo got the least amount of 1st preferences, but was ranked highly by a large portion of voters from across the aisle.

Re-read my post; I'm saying that FPTP doesn't help candidates with shallow support. (Besides, Flo would have been eliminated first under either vote counting system.)
That wasn't necessarily directed at you, but the people who support FPTP for at-large senate. Wink

I actually think the regions would thrive- with approximately 50 people per region, you'd see a lot of competition and significantly more activity in each regional government.

     We could also abolish the federal government to achieve the same effect, and at least that wouldn't require sending two or more old and storied traditions to their final fates. That sounds like a better solution to me.

Correct. And we must not forget that killing active regions with a long tradition and unique political and cultural identities will make quite a few currently active players leave Atlasia.

This game has only  been in existence for 10 years. There is no such thing as "Atlasian Tradition."

The game is sustained by and solely for tradition, so you might want to rethink that.

I believe majority of the electorate does not want to play this game, but they don't bother to show up to vote for candidates that support abolition. Stop abusing the people.
