Nadine, any chance you could find that 1970s math document on why a 2-party system maximises
the voting power of those prepared to swing it, mostly subjectively and sometimes objectively??
(when the debate was high on how to achieve proportional representation or voting, not through party
lists, but through gerrymandering and redistricting, subjectively)

Ilmarinen

I once had it, but the hard drive crashed, and I lost it.
(minor hint, was an issue, once agian, around the time that jewish-black women, the quota queen, became the
most instant witch-hunt result since medieval times, should, maybe, interest any women considering
the amount of freely, directly elected women in US??)

At least, this should be interesting as an extreme difference to the party list system of Israel??
