If people feel emphatically enough about a candidate to put | them near the bottom of a list, having that count against them seems | fair. That seems like a strenth of a ranking-based voting system. If you're after a strong council, it's a weakness. If you're after a council that doesn't piss anyone off, at the expense of not making any progress, it's a strength. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh Mail : ciaranm at ciaranm.org --Sig_4Gnn5ZMV7/okAu+P7HiEOL+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFBZ0o96zL6DUtXhERAgE6AKDm56OprA4g7dhSrB4G/PxB6jVySwCfds8q 1hq6DetrIi80ILbVkTQDSMw= =VWb3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_4Gnn5ZMV7/okAu+P7HiEOL+-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
