Necessary electoral reforms for the USA

Name: Anonymous 2010-06-17 19:47

The U.S. needs the following electoral reforms:

Unicameral legislatures (abolish the senates) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicameralism

Party-list proportional representation for legislative elections - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_representation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party-list_proportional_representation

Instant runoff voting for executive elections (mayor, governor, president) -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting

Election of the president solely by the popular vote (abolish the Electoral College).


That is all.

That's the whole point of proportional representation. If there are 100 seats in a lawmaking body and there is an election it will go like this:

Party A gets 30% of the votes and 30% of the seats
Party B gets 25% of the votes and 25% of the seats
Party C gets 20% of the votes and 20% of the seats
Party D gets 15% of the votes and 15% of the seats
Party E gets 10% of the votes and 10% of the seats

It's beautiful.
