Hello from Dave Lowe in Berwick, Nova Scotia
-
I am Dave Lowe from Berwick, Nova Scotia, Canada. I learned of this website through pr_discussion_group@googlegroups.com from Dr. Keith Edmonds who suggested I write you about the new electoral system that I'm promoting.
It is very similar to and gives the same results as Dr. Monica Threlfall' paper published in 2014 entitled A new electoral system: Majoritarian Election of Candidates with Proportional Allocation of Seats. A copy of it can be printed from googling "a new electoral system by monica threlfall".
The system here in Canada has become known as SMDPR (Single Member District Proportional Representation). A series of videos by Dr. Denis Falvey on it can be seen by searching "denis falvey" on youtube.com
Briefly, it uses the data from our present FPTP system and reconfigures it to give a very proportional result by ranking the parties that participate according to their percentage of the popular vote and ranking their candidates according to their to their percentages of the vote in the ridings or districts in which they ran, then picking the number of winners each party got according to their percentage of the popular vote in their region or province or state.
For a copy of the results of Canada's last federal election in 2021 according to SMDPR which was calculated by my computer program - which you can also get a copy of in the language of C++ - you can email your land mail address to me dave.lowe@live.com
Dave.
