[EURO-Discuss] Vote for EURALO board size

[Roberto Gaetano]

Interesting approach. I personally like it (but I am not a voting member).
 
I assume that we are all aware of the fact that in this case the option that
has the relative majority might not be the winner.
For instance, having 17 votes, we might have:
 
5 - 3 votes
7 - 3 votes
9 - 3 votes
all - 8 votes
 
and the winner will be 9 (not all).
Similarly, if we have:
 
5 - 8 votes
7 - 3 votes
9 - 3 votes
all - 3 votes
 
the winner will be 7 (not 5).
This has the advantage of favouring the central area of the spectrum,
minimizing the global unhappiness instead of maximizing the local happiness.
 
It is worthed noting that if you start from the other end, i.e. from 5, and
go up, stopping when you have the majority of the valid votes, you will end
at the same point (if my maths are correct).
 
Cheers,
Roberto

Dear all,

 

I was asked by several people how we would count the votes for the size of
the EURALO board.

 

According to my understanding we start with the "include all" option.

If this option does not reach the majority, these votes will be added to the
"membership of 9" votes.

If this option does not reach the majority, these votes will be added to the
"membership of 7" votes. ...

 

Christoph
