Re: Was that really necessary?

You keep veering off in different directions, so that I don't really get what you're trying to say anymore. Cambridge uses proportional representation with preference voting. One of the nice features of that system, as I stated above, is that each person's vote counts for a single candidate, the same as anyone else's vote.
