How Are People Feeling Today?

[H T B]

So why didn't they just ask the question " coffee, beer, milk shake or hot chocolate" then discuss where to get it from.

Would you like fries with that?

Okay so

Coffee 3 votes
Beer 2 votes
Milkshake 1 vote
Hot chocolate 2 votes

The majority of the votes cast were by people that didn't want coffee, but coffee still wins.

Fair?

if beer dont win you going for the milk shake then

 

[Macky]

yes, because coffee gets the larger share of the vote

It doesn't, it gets 3 out of 8 votes

 

[SJN-Fox]

Too much beer and he won't be capable of a milk shake.

So which one do u go for?

 

[FryattFox]

I'm voting 'no', but with 'yes' as my second choice.

(I know it's old and probably repeated but I still like it.)

 

[FryattFox]

So which one do u go for?

Depends on 2nd and 3rd choices. If coffee is too extreme for the other 5, then the most popular of the others will win.

 

[bocadillo]

Where disapproval?

****

So, what if beer gets 9 out of 24 votes, and the other 15 are distributed between the rest, why then I that fairer?

Enjoying the stirring that is going on at work and for once, it isnt me doing it :icon_bigg

You can sit back and watch with no guilty smirk on your face then!

Fair?

So if the milkshake voter put hot chocolate as second choice, and the beer voters put milkshake second then hot chocolate third, but the coffee voters only picked coffee, hot chocolate wins despite only getting two 'first round' votes and one second choice vote?

Much fairer.

:icon_eek:



No more.........................head hurts!!!

 

[Cate Fox]

yep... its brilliant :icon_bigg

Much fairer.

Your example only works by ensuring that only the coffee voters give a single preference.

The point is that FPTP is only a fair and representative system when there are only two possible candidates.

tbh I've always thought the real problem is that half of the voting population can't be fecked to get off their arses and vote in the first place.........we wouldn't be dealing with this shitty coalition government then imo......
